The quotes tonight seem to be "spot on" for me. I have been dodging the "tasks of life." Getting a late start on reading when I've got an early morning & a busy day is one way of dodging those tasks.
"Let us remember, too, that greatness is not always a matter of the scale of one’s life, but of the quality of one’s life. True greatness is not always tied to the scope of our tasks, but to the quality of how we carry out our tasks whatever they are. In that attitude, let us give our time, ourselves, and our talents to the things that really matter now, things which will still matter a thousand years from now."
--Spencer W. Kimball, "A Gift of Gratitude", Tambuli, Dec 1977, 1
And the next one
"Even though the tasks of life become heavy, and although sorrow thrusts a drooping burden upon us, the light that emanates from our Savior beckons us on, undismayed."
--Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin; Ensign, November 1994, Page 77
Unless we choose to ignore that light.
