Cute kids who actually volunteered to help with the Christmas Cards.  They were amazing!

As I began my prayer this morning I felt the need to pray for my depression.  I am learning to be specific in my prayers and so I felt guided to pray to know how to be prepared for when I fall into my depressive moods, to put things in place so that I won't struggle so much.

The idea that came to me was menu planning.  That is a tedious task that I don't enjoy doing every two weeks but that I know really helps me.  I think I should menu plan for 6 months and make a weekly grocery list for that menu.  Then I can alter it if needed that week, but it will be in place and I don't have to stress about it.

I also think I should only work on it for 15-30 min. a day so that I don't become frustrated with it.  It seems a little overwhelming.

I am grateful for a Father in Heaven who cares and who wants to help me.

Ether 7:26 -25 

"25  And he did execute a law throughout all the land, which gave power unto the prophets that they should go whithersoever they would; and by this cause the people were brought unto repentance.

26  And because the people did repent of their iniquities and idolatries the Lord did spare them, and they began to prosper again in the land."

How I wish we had righteous leaders. I am getting worried about the upcoming election. I pray that a candidate will be chosen that we can vote for.

I am grateful that we have a prophet and that I know if I follow his advice and counsel all will be well.
