I am always amazed at the material that is presented in our classes. As I started watching the talk by Elder Gay I didn't expect his message to be what it was. The story at the end of the young women from Africa really hit home with me. It is so very important that our focus is always in the right place. The world will try to distract us with so many things and it is individuals stories like this one that help us remember all the blessings in our lives. Why was this part of the lesson material? I believe it is because of the fact that we can get so busy with the day to day items of business that we forget the things that are truly important. Keeping the Savior as a key part of our business is vital if we are to be eternally successful.
This week has been SUPER crazy for me and I wonder if I am made to be a business owner but I think if I remember to keep my priorities focused on the Lord then it will be ok. The opportunities that we are blessed with are endless and it is important to remember to use them to help others around us.

The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest. As President Gordon B. Hinckley and his predecessors have stated, “The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place nor fulfill its essential functions.”

“Your mind is a cupboard, and you stock the shelves.” Let us
make certain that our cupboard shelves, and those of our family members, are
stocked with the things which will provide safety to our souls and enable us to
return to our Father in Heaven. Such shelves could well be stocked with gospel
scholarship, faith, prayer, love, service, obedience, example, and kindness.

I would say to each mother, each father—be a good listener.
Communication is so vital today in our fast-paced world. Take time to listen.
And to you children, talk to your mother and to your father. It may be
difficult to realize, but your parents have lived through many of the same
challenges which you face today. Often they see the big picture more clearly
than you can. They pray for you each day and are entitled to the inspiration of
our Heavenly Father in providing you counsel and advice. Pres. Monson
