Talking to a friend I realized something that I have always known. That the simple things are the things that matter most. You know the primary answers. Go to church, say your prayers, read your scriptures. Things that we know will strengthen our relationship with our heavenly father. So, why is it so hard to do them? Why is it so hard to do the things that we know will help us feel the spirit, receive revelation, and bring us back into the presence of our Heavenly Father?
I think that it’s times like these that I am just plain lazy. It’s not that I don’t want to do them. It’s that I’ll get to them I have so much on my plate why do I got to spend the time to to do this when I know it already. So horrible to think about but it is the rut you get in. Becomes an excuse that leads to a habit. And then you feel lost and maybe even a little afraid.
It’s that rut I’d like to address today. A few years ago on this blog I wrote a post that was the 10 minute fix.It was called unity written back in 2011. Take 10 minutes out of your day and create a place with each member of your family.
As you take that time with each member of your family you’ll find that what matters most is that relationship that you have with them. You’ll also realize how much you want to spend time with them.
And then you’ll start to spend time with your heavenly father again. Spending time with Heavenly Father means doing the primary answers. Taking the time to have meaningful conversation with the father. Taking time to understand his will concerning us. Taking time to understand that others need us. Once you feel like you’re needed there is a great feeling of satisfaction. A deep love that only comes from above. it fills every aspect of your life.
Live that you may be able to feel Savior and working in your life. Pay attention. There may be someone out there; something out there that needs to be accomplished only by you.
