I thought it was OK to take righteous pride in the industry and accomplishments of my husband and our family . . . that was before much affliction came. I'm still working to learn the lessons.
". . . the people of the church began to wax proud, because of their exceeding riches . . . which they had obtained by their industry;
Now this was the cause of much affliction . . . that the people began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches . . . and thus the church began to fail in its progress." Alma 4:8-10
"In the scriptures there is no such thing as righteous pride." Ezra Taft Benson (April, 1989)
