Now that's what I call a good day.  I am able to meet my worldly goal stuff with minimal effort but also choose to do some 'better' stuff (related to family) that ends up adding so much more to my day.  Right now my work is a bit on the down side so I do have time to read and study (I do have that priesthood lesson coming up this Sunday). And I changed my mind about attending Linzi's choir concert last night.  Sheila was involved with service of her own, so I chose to attend on my own.  It ended up being a very good choice.  Not only was the music very nice, I had a special moment with my grand daughter which repaid me many times over for the effort to be there.  This old grumpa was actually 'touched' and it still lingers as I remember the evening.  I do so get caught up in this worldly stuff sometimes.  I need to not do that.  And today I get another opportunity to choose well.  Cortney's softball team has a game this afternoon and I plan to be there too.  Once again Sheila will probably not be able to be there due to her very important service otherwise, but I expect a similar payback to what  I had last night.  I believe that I am finally starting to understand this business of life.  Good thing!  I've been at it long enough!  The news reflects what is going on in the world and it is not wonderful stuff.  I can and do feel for my brothers and sisters, but I also am so grateful for what is going on in our lives.  As much as we mourn for them we do owe it to Father to enjoy what we have.  And when we can help we must do so.  But there is so much we should be doing in our own small circle of influence that we can be kept quite busy.  If I had more I would do more, but I will do what I can do with both time and assets.  That seems to be all that we are asked to do.
