Today, I spent the morning/afternoon training new instructors for the studio,
including Jane!! Go, Jane!
including Jane!! Go, Jane!
What a dream to be able to work with my daughter! I love it!
Later, I had an appointment in Durham and came home in the evening to
the most beautiful sight; the sunset over Jordan Lake.
The best word to describe it was grounding.
I have a lot going on in every aspect of my life, but the
colors tonight helped me remember the "why" of life--to have joy.
I thought about these powerful words by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf,
Isn’t it true that we often get so busy?
And, sad to say, we even wear our busyness as a badge of honor,
as though being busy, by itself, was an accomplishment or sign of a superior life.
Is it?
I think of our Lord and Exemplar, Jesus Christ,
and His short life among the people of Galilee and Jerusalem.
I have tried to imagine Him bustling between meetings or
multitasking to get a list of urgent things accomplished.
I can’t see it.
Instead I see the compassionate and caring Son of God
purposefully living each day. When He interacted with those around Him,
they felt important and loved. He knew the infinite value of the people He met.
He blessed them, ministered to them. He lifted them up, healed them.
He gave them the precious gift of His time.
