Follow-up to Sunday Presidency Lesson

As part of my lesson on Sunday I talked about prioritizing according to Sister Julie B. Beck. I was unaware she had used this in her General Board R.S. Training in 2010, but here is what she included in her handout:

"Essentials"- What things must be taken care of, and if I don't take care of them, the blessings of eternal life won't be mine nor will they be my family's.

1. Make & Renew Covenants=be in Sacrament Meeting each week
2. Qualify for Temple Recommend and Attend Regularly
3. Spend time in the Scriptures every day & on our knees Praying
4. Serve Others

"Necessaries"

1. Live (an orderly home), Eat, Work
2. Self-Reliance (Food & clothing storage, finances)
3. Share the Gospel
4. Help children
5. Spend time with family, husband, grandchildren
6. Exercise=good health, physical strength

"Nice-To-Dos"-Add variety

1. Hobbies: Scrapbooking, painting, crafts
2. Reading good books
3. Sporting events
4. Additional exercising activities
5. Social Media-Facebooking...(This is an addition according to Robin)

Also, here is the quote I used from Sister Beck's 2011 BYU Women's Conference talk:

"Charity is much more than a feeling of benevolence. It is more than virtuous living. It is living as Christ lived and being as he is. It is more than niceness. It is what we are to become. We learn from the scriptures, in Alma and Moroni, that if we have not charity, we are as dross before the Lord. That if we don't have charity we cannot achieve eternal life and that we should pray with all of our hearts to be filled with charity...

...this wonderful charity is what we do and who we are and who we are becoming."

If you would like to view her entire talk I am including it also(another one of my favorites).
