Tony Grove Campout
We went on our annual Tony Grove campout with the Butler family the last few days. I barely said my prayers and didn't read my scriptures for three days we were there. Not a good thing! Reading the scriptures and really praying invites the Spirit. The fruits of the Spirit are love, understanding, tolerance, kindness, etc. Without the Spirit as my constant companion I became judgemental and frustrated with those who have chosen different lifestyles and values than I have. I really need the Spirit in my life every minute so I don't fall into traps of criticism and fault finding. It's been so nice to be home and be back to a somewhat normal day so I can read my scriptures and pray more easily. Although that is no excuse for not finding a way while camping. I have to repent of my neglect of spiritual things and my critical feelings and words. I'm grateful for repentance. I will be better!
