"A+ KISSES"

Recently, someone that I admire told me that something I had taught in a RS lesson had influenced their life for the better. So because it is about kisses and it is Valentine's Day, I thought I would share it. This is the experience that I talked about in my lesson.

Bill was in the Bishopric for seven years. Before that he was Executive Secretary and Assistant Executive Secretary to Bishop Harbertson (that is A LOT of tithing settlements). Sometime during one of those years of his service with President Harb, we attended a Christmas Party at their home for the Bishopric. We played one of those games where you exchange presents and then re-exchange them. I believe that if you could answer the question correctly, then you got to pick a different present. Anyway, one of the questions was "Did you kiss your spouse goodbye this morning?" My memory is that we had kissed that morning, but I might be giving us too much credit. At any rate, I remember leaving that party thinking, "I am never going to miss that question." It is kind of odd that I thought that, and kind of odd that I remember it, but nevertheless, I did and do. Well I can tell you today that I would probably give myself a B+ for a grade on kisses. The B+, however, is not for lack of quantity. We kissed almost every morning. In fact, if My Guy was on the phone, and he ususally was, he would pause for a kiss. The B+ is for qualtiy. I wish I had made every one of those kisses an "A+ KISS". Make YOUR kisses "A+ KISSES"!. I can promise you, you WON'T be sorry.

a worthy goal for anyone! we always make sure to say "i love you" but i think if we add a kiss it would increase our grade.

Morgan always kisses me before he goes to work. 100% of the time I am still in bed and about 75% of the time I am still asleep, but I know he always does. And he ALWAYS kisses the kids before he leaves, too. LOVE it! Even when it wakes me up and I'm cranky because of it. Still love it.
