Apostle and disciple, Elder Hales invites Mormons and friend of all faiths to seek things of eternal value, and to overcome addictive habits, desires to spend excessively, or buy things that entice us but that we don’t really need.   He recalls a time after his return from the service, after Christmas, when he and his wife entered a clothing store where they both saw a lovely dress. He offered to purchase it if she liked it, but after her try-on, Sister Hales, gently acknowledging its quality, declined the purchase, indicating that they couldn’t afford it.

Personally, downsizing to a town home, even though I sometimes miss the “great room” or extra space, has been personally liberating.  Watch, comment on,  and rate this video on YouTube.
