Today's last word ...

From reading this morning in Zechariah 8 and Helaman 8-11, and listening to "The Race of Life" by President Thomas S. Monson in the April 2012 LDS General Conference, while walking this evening:

"Now this great evil, which came unto the people because of their iniquity, did stir them up again in remembrance of the Lord their God."                                              -- Helaman 11:34

Once again I am reminded of how quick we are to forget the Lord, even though he blesses us so much.  I am all the more convinced that health, both spiritual and physical, is a daily effort.  Every day!

Our priorities are everything, consider this:

"I recently visited with a woman who has been battling a life-threatening disease for over two years. She indicated that prior to her illness, her days were filled with activities such as cleaning her house to perfection and filling it with beautiful furnishings. She visited her hairdresser twice a week and spent money and time each month adding to her wardrobe. Her grandchildren were invited to visit infrequently, for she was always concerned that what she considered her precious possessions might be broken or otherwise ruined by tiny and careless hands.

"And then she received the shocking news that her mortal life was in jeopardy and that she might have very limited time left here. She said that at the moment she heard the doctor’s diagnosis, she knew immediately that she would spend whatever time she had remaining with her familyand friends and with the gospel at the center of her life, for these represented what was most precious to her.

"Such moments of clarity come to all of us at one time or another, although not always through so dramatic a circumstance. We see clearly what it is that really matters in our lives and how we should be living.

'Said the Savior:

'Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

'But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

'For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.'”¹

--Matthew 6:19-21 quoted by President Monson  in "The Race of Life", cited above 

Cheerio!
