Richard and I were talking the other day and I was telling him how bad I felt about something that was going on in my life. He said that he wanted to tell me a story that he heard from Elder Rulon Stacey:
Heavenly Father asked a group of men to complete 10 very important tasks in their lifetimes. The men reported back at the end of their lives that they had done 1 of the tasks really well. They felt really happy and good about it and were sure they were going to Heaven!
He also asked a group of women to complete 10 very important tasks in their lifetimes. The women reported back at the end of their lives that they had done just 8 of the tasks. "They were sure that they were all going to go to hell" for not completing all that was asked of them.
That's the difference between most men and women. Why are we so hard on ourselves and only think of the things we didn't do, say or accomplish? I am guilty of that. I am going to take this counsel to heart!
I see this happening so much in people around me. The women in my life are truly amazing and we all need to remind them of it!!
