There was one ward I attended in which the Relief Society committee decided to have an auction on talents – which I had gone to before to raise money for whatever needed to be raised. But for this particular activity there was no need for money. We would be able to bid on talents based upon points.
We earned points according to a survey that was given upon our arrival. Give yourself five points if you are such and such an age, if you spent time with your grandchildren, if you are single, if you read your scriptures, if you made your bed, if you said your prayers, if you did an act of service, if you visited somebody, if you talked with somebody in your family – and a time frame, last night, this morning, this week, everyday.
I remember our RS president was vocal about some of the credits on the list – like give yourself this many points for making your bed everyday this week. She said, “Are you kidding? Who makes their bed? What a waste” It made me laugh.
