Imparting of your substance

The other night Ryan and I were talking about what we need to do better in our relationships with others, kids, co-workers, friends, family, each other, etc.. So we did our usual, let the scriptures fall open, then read the first thing you see... and we opened to Mosiah chapter 4 and it's that chapter that talks about feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, imparting of your substance to those in need....

So that got us talking about ways that we can impart of our substance... fast offerings was one way, visiting teaching, and home teaching (providing service), and another thing we thought of was imparting of our time with one another.....especially our children... then in speaking of children we started to talk about all of the things Kate imparts of her substance to us.

She does a wonderful job of imparting her cheeto fingers all over the couch, her buger nose on our clean sunday clothes, and my personal favorite imparting of her potty substance all over our carpet :)...But to also add to that is that she imparts of her sweet kisses, hugs, and what feels like unconditional love to a mother that sometimes is less than patient...We can learn a lot from kids, so since then, I have been trying to be more generous with my time and spend it with family and those I love. And basically trying to look for the good and the spiritual in all situations, cuz they are there to be found.
