Week 25: Mosiah 3:17

On Sunday, we had a member of the Stake High Council speak I'm Sacrament meeting.  His talk was about patience and the importance thereof.  He talked about the story of Alice in Wonderland.  I'm going to paraphrase, but he talked about when Alice asked the Cheshire Cat which way she should go.  He asked her which way she wanted to go and her reply was that she didn't care where she went.  The cat them told her that it didn't matter which path she took if she didn't know where she wanted to go.  It's a fairytale story, but the lesson is salient.

If we don't know where we are going, it doesn't matter what path we take.  I've taken it upon myself to focus my mind on that principle.  I want everything I do to reflect where I want to go and what I want to be in life.  It's something that is so simple and is a no-brainer, but often overlooked.  I invite y'all to do that same thing.

Mosiah 2:41 "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
