What Matters Most

Newest Mormon Messages video featuring our sweet prophet, Thomas S. Monson. I like the last quote: "Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved." I add, never let anything get in the way of a person to be loved.



As idealistic as it may be, I think a little more love and a lot less greed would solve many of the world's problems. Think about if more people donated their excess to those in third world countries who barely have enough water to drink and food to eat. Think what would happen if the politicians in our country actually worked together for a common purpose, rather than pursuing their own self interests. Imagine how happier everyone would be if we all took heed to President Monson's advice and filled our days with "what matters most," even if that means sending a simple note, giving a hug, or smiling at a stranger.

This video's main message is to not let the vain things of the world like the pursuit of riches and a powerful career take up time that should be spent with loved ones. I also think it goes a little deeper; we should not only care for our beloved family and friends, but all of God's children. We need to give generously to the needy and the brokenhearted, both in our time, attention, and resources.

I hope we can all take Gordon B. Hinckley's counsel and "be a little better" every day. I know I can start by showing a little more love to my friends and family and by doing a little more service for others.
