Moses 7:18

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.
