It warms my lil heart

As you know i work by the St. George Temple, and as i was driving home from work at six this morning i noticed an elderly gentleman about two blocks away from the temple dressed from head to toe in his sunday best slowly trudging along in the dark with a walker and his temple bag, ready to do the work. His degree of dedication touched me, and i thought to myself, i'm able-bodied, i'm blessed with a means of transportation, and yet i know i am not nearly as dedicated as he is. More often than not I too easily find some distraction rather than readily taking advantage of the blessings so easily available to me, especially when others have to work so much harder to obtain them. It renewed my resolve to be a more dedicated attendee, to find time. After all, isn't this what life is all about??
