Hello, hello! Another week in Maricopa! Time is an interesting thing. Sometimes it is the greatest blessing. In other moments, the greatest curse. We can love it, or we can hate it, but in the end, this is all based on how we use it. We can think about life and realize that the greatest moments of pleasure and relaxation were when we used our time wisely. There are lots of things that we have the need to make time for and differing amounts of time to portion for each. Satisfaction comes when we use our time wisely. In a grander sense, time plays the same role. Here in this life, we travel through this world sometimes doing good, and other times, bad. Due to our imperfections, there is a need to make reparations daily. The Atonement is the key to using our time wisely in a spiritual manner. Through Repentance, and the Enabling Power of the Atonement, we have the ability to make this change that is necessary at the end of our days. Time can be a beautiful thing if we use the Atonement daily; if constantly we strive to better our lives and become more like our Heavenly Father. When we procrastinate the day of our repentance, time becomes the enemy. The days become longer, and every little trial that comes along seems to feel just a little heavier, and a little harder. Life is not supposed to be that way. We CAN be free. We CAN be happy. TIME can be a blessing always, if learn how to use it. God lives. Jesus Christ lives. He gave His life so that we might live again with our Heavenly Father and so that this journey to him is a moment in TIME, filled with joy. I love this work. I love the simple pleasures in life. We don't need much to be happy. We just need to do what is right. Take care! I love you all!
