Good thought on "Things to Do"

We went to our adult session of Stake conference on Sat. and enjoyed it very much. One thing that struck me was a challenge that our Stake President presented. He said that instead of making lists of "things to do" make it a list of "people to love". Nearly everything we do affects someone. It would be a much better world, a happier family, a happier heart, if those things were done with love for the people they affect. I read a post about a lady who folds laundry this way. As she folds each article of clothing she thinks of something she loves about the person it belongs to.
We talked about it with our children and reminded them that our love is best demonstrated by our actions. How much more love could exist in our homes if all the "to dos" were done with love for members of the family in mind?
