Building Character
The 75th anniversary of the welfare plan—commemorated this year—gives Latter-day Saints the opportunity to reflect on basic principles such as becoming self-reliant, caring for the poor and needy, and serving others. When we live these principles, we are better able to alleviate suffering, build character, and foster unity.
To provide in the Lord’s way, we must develop our own self-reliance and then seek to help others become self-reliant.

“The real long-term objective of the welfare plan is the building of character in the members of the Church, givers and receivers, rescuing all that is finest down deep inside of them, and bringing to flower and fruitage the latent richness of the spirit, which after all is the mission and purpose and reason for being of this Church.”

Are you self reliant?
Are you self-reliant
My sister in law has a blog where she shares funny things that her kids say. Just recently while having a discussion with her 8-year old son about cleaning the playroom she learned his definition of self-reliant. I thought I'd share it. I wonder if any of us (slightly over 8-years olds) feel the same way?
"But mom. . . I'm self reliant!" I said well that's great, now you can do it all by yourself with out any help since you are self reliant! He looked at me and scoffed "No mom, that means you're suppose to help me!" I smiled and replied that actually self reliant means that you can do things all on your own and that you don't need help from other people. He looked at me very thoughtfully for a moment then said "really, that's what that means? Oh well, just forget what I said then!"
There may come a time when we need to be self-reliant, while I hope that we will be there for each other, wouldn't it be nice to know that you've actually understood the meaning of the term and are at least headed in that direction???
