I was an observing student this evening, which meant I observed the students who were teaching and will have the opportunity to teach next week.
When you fill a jar with rocks, dirt, and water, you are allocating your
time to priorities (the rocks), the things you worry about (the dirt),
and your free time (the water). If you don't put your
priorities first, you will never get anything accomplished and that we
need to first know what our priorities are and then make an effort to
constantly be aware of what is important in our lives and when it is
important.
Alma 34:32 says that now is the time to prepare to meet
God and that time is both a stewardship and gift from God so that we
can be wise about making the most of our mortality. I then defined
stewardship by referring to it as responsibilities given to us by God
and emphasizing that we are responsible for using our time and we will
be held accountable for how we have used our time.
Following promptings is a good investment of our time and a good use of the Spirit that comes with our stewardships and the Lord
is pleased when we invest our time into following His promptings.
A quote by President Monson said that time's progression can
bring forth change and we can make the most of life by making priorities.
