January RS Presidency Message

In President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's October 2012 General Conference talk "Of Regrets and Resolutions", he warns us of getting too busy.  He says, "We often wear our busyness as a badge of honor, as though being busy, by itself, were an accomplishment or sign of a superior life."  He goes on to say he can't imagine our Savior, during his short time of life, "bustling between meetings or multitasking to get a list of urgent things accomplished."  He continues, "Instead I see the compassionate and caring Son of God purposefully living each day.  When He interacted with those around Him, they felt important and loved.  He knew the infinite value of the people He met.  He blessed them, ministered to them.  He lifted them up, healed them.  He gave them the precious gift of His time."

As the New Year begins, it is so easy to busy ourselves with all the things we feel we NEED to get done or want to improve.  It's true this can be a worthy endeavor, but we must be careful to prioritize what's most important.  If we follow the Savior's perfect example, we will remember to fill our time with the things that matter most.  President Uchtdorf suggests we make the following resolutions:

     - Resolve to spend more time with those we love.
     - Resolve to strive more earnestly to become the person God wants us to be.
     - Resolve to find happiness, regardless of our circumstances




True happiness comes from following Jesus Christ.  May we live each day with purpose and resolve to be more like Him in the New Year.
