Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually

Becoming Provident Providers Temporally and Spiritually By Elder Rober D. Hales This talk was very eye opening when I compared it to my 50 item bucket list. Much, or most, of the things in there were like a kids Christmas list of things I want rather than things I would like to give. And even when it comes to giving Elder Hales gives a terrific story about a very fancy coat he wanted to purchase for his wife's annaversary gift. When he suggested it she "sweetly" asked, "Are you buying this for me or for you?" She pointed out that even though they were financialy stable to afford it, there was possibly a deeper reason. That perhaps he was buying the coat to show that HE was a good provider or to show to the world that they could afford a really nice coat. This new insight, redirected at me, this made me compare to the gifts I would like to buy my fiance. I want to give her the best, but I need to check myself before buying things to make sure I am doing it, 1)because she actually may need it. Or 2) because I truly love her and want to show her...not others...how much I love her.
