18 And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.
I started the week out feeling like this was a very random scripture and didn't know how it could apply to me. I then thought of my patriarchal blessing and how I am blessed to be a mother in Zion. So it does apply to me and my family! How we need to be of one heart and one mind and dwell in righteousness. I figured the poor among us was my children having a hard time. I fail miserably meeting all of my children's needs. There's just so many of them! Children and needs! I thought of how we are taught to care for the poor so there are no poor among us. I need to be more willing to put my children first. Be in the moment with them. Enjoy them while they are little and when they are having a hard time (no matter how small it seems to me), meet their needs with love and compassion. And pray a lot so I can do that.
