25 Words

In the April, 2013 General Conference, Rosemary M.Wixom gave a talk called The Words We Speak.
In her talk she mentioned a story of a man who was imprisoned, and after two years he was allowed to write a letter to his family who wasn't sure if he was even alive. He was limited to 25 words.
When I listened to this talk I was all-I want to do that-write 25 words to my family.
It has only taken me 5 months to actually choose my 25:

Work hard.
Laugh.
Love Fiercely.
Serve with Love.
Be Kind.
Honor the Priesthood.
 Choose the Right.
Love the Temple.
Pray Always.
I Just Love You!
 
I am sure that I would change this list as they grow and as I age, but for right now this is it.
