Learn

It is the most natural human response to life to want to learn. Babies absorb the world around them. Toddlers ask "Why?". Good teachers don't have to motivate their students. They just provide opportunity.

The Lord knows this about us and encourages us to study and learn. Our new curriculum, Come Follow Me, is evidence of that.

Seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Those who know me know I love to read, study and learn. My patriarchal blessing encourages it and suggests even that the Lord expects me to use my studies to do "much good."

The only problem with having such a thirst for learning is that there just isn't enough time. So I hang to the words of this song by Carol Lynn Pearson in My Turn on Earth.

Some dreams must wait

Life isn't long.

Some dreams must wait to come true.

Sometimes it seems life just begins and then

All of a sudden it's through.

There's songs you won't sing

There's stories that you will never hear.

Pages you'll never turn,

Words that you'll never,

Things that you never will learn.

Some dreams must wait,

Life isn't long enough.

It's nice to know there's all eternity

For everything you would like to do.

No harps and clouds for me, thank you. I'll be too busy reading and learning and meeting people and hearing their stories. And I will take voice lessons - surely my voice will be perfected and I will sing! So much to look forward to. So much to learn. . .
