Blessings From a Can
This past week I took the opportunity to go to the Harrisville Cannery to help fulfill an assignment for our stake. This was a day when every Ward in our Stake had an assignment at the cannery. We were canning beef stew. The cannery has been in operation for six years. Hopefully, you have had a chance to visit and help with the operations.
Are You Financially Literate?
The concept of financial literacy refers to knowing the basics of financial concepts to make smart decisions. Specifically, financial literacy can help prevent costly mistakes that could derail your life plans, prepare you for emergencies, help you reach your goals, and can help provide you a comprehensive view of your financials while giving you the confidence you need to make important decisions.
Education Is About Learning, Growing, And Changing
This spring we had a grandchild graduate from preschool, another from the 6th grade, two from junior high, one from high school and two received bachelor degrees. We joyfully celebrated their accomplishments and success with them.
As fun as these milestones are, I am reminded that the purpose of education is not just graduating from one level to another, but the knowledge and skills that one acquires, and the opportunities and benefits that it brings. An education can bless your life and life of your family. Education is an important part of our Heavenly Father’s plan to help us become more like Him.
