Find Some Time

So I taught a lesson about Joseph Smith in Elder's Quorum on Sunday.

And man, what a stud! What stood out to me from his life the most are a few things, but I'll just talk about one today.

He made time for "innocent amusement"- wrestling, playing, having fun. I think it's amazing that a prophet of God isn't just serious all the time. He is a nice, friendly guy. He is just like you and me, whether you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or not.

If the prophet of the restoration of the church can find some time for simple happiness and doing fun things, so can I! I don't have to work all the time. I don't have to study all the time. I don't have to try and plan out my future for every moment of every day. Sometimes, I just need to sit back, relax, and do something I love.

Like watching TV.


Okay, maybe not the prime example. :) But you get what I mean. On another note, however smart of a decision, I decided that instead of an instead study/cram session for finals this morning, I would go out to my parents' house to spend some time and play with my nephews during "Grandma Morning." (Yes, totally worth it)


In a world where everything is so busy, I know I could use some time to slow down, to enjoy the moment, and to do something that puts a smile on my face.

For example:
Hangin' out

Running

I think this picture speaks for itself.

And this one. Hint: I love eating.

Being as completely UN-serious as possible.

Talking

Reading my favorite book!

And of course, playing the piano- Just. Like. This.




Until about 12 hours from now: Keep running!
