Something to think about.....

Choices
1. Will this decision make me a better person?
2. Will it increase my standing before my Father in Heaven?
3. Will it bring more joy to those I love?
4. Will it offer hope instead of doubt?
5. Will it give me peace?
6. Will I feel glad that I made this choice next week, or next year?
7. Will this choice help me grow in self-control?
8. Is this choice being made based upon emotional reaction or affirmative action?

I want to savor each day I am given. I want to better show my gratitude to our God for the life I have. I want to do away with any foolish or weary thought that crosses my mind, and to be steady in my joy for mortality---and the people I get to share it with.

What I want and what I accomplish will not be congruent all of the time. Thankfully, I have a Savior who will lift me up each time I stumble. With Him, I can continue to improve in my every-single-minute choices. Those that my family and friends are aware of, and those that are between me and my Father in heaven.

We are in the business of continual growth and eternal exaltation. I am hoping to keep getting better. The choice is mine. I am hoping to be better, one choice at a time.

E. T. Sullivan wrote.." When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, He goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn't stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, He has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home out of some obscure mother. And then God puts an idea into the mother's heart, and she puts it into the baby's mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies....
