So, what did you guys learn in your class today? My 4 giggly kiddos thought it was absolutely hilarious that this particular topic was discussed in Relief Society along with an amazing lesson on overcoming trials. What did you say, mom? Yes. I said it. "Reverse your buts."
BUT.....
This is what it really means. How you say something can change your attitude and the attitude of the people you are talking to.
"I love you, but you guys are driving me crazy!" Then reverse it. "You guys are driving me crazy, but I love you!"
OR
"I really need to get out and serve someone but I have my own trials right now." Instead. "I have my own trials right now but I really need to get out and serve someone."
Amazing how a simple reversal of phrases can make all the difference. I love listening to lessons and realizing the things I need to change in my life. AND I like when things are as simple as this little "but" lesson.
Especially when it makes my kids smile.
