I was just thinking the other day that I am fortunate in my life to have the best paying jobs in the world. The first is wife and mother, the second is seminary teacher. I am absolutely wealthy because of the pay I have received because of those two assignments! I cannot tell you how much I have received from being a wife to a handsome, faithful, talented, kind, intelligent, funny and loving man. Following that wealth I have received untold riches from being a Mom to four absolutely incredible, intelligent, handsome and beautiful, funny, fun and talented children, and now I am even richer because of my seven (soon to be eight) beautiful, smart, talented, kind, wonderful grandchildren. It makes my head swim to realize how wealthy I am!
Now I also add to those riches the riches I get from being a seminary teacher. I get to associate with some incredibly wonderful, kind, smart, thoughtful, and fun seminary students. Then, every day I feast upon the words of Christ and feel His Spirit helping me understand and prepare to teach those words. I have new insights come to me constantly about the Gospel and its profound principles. The Spirit tells me all the time too what I am doing wrong, what I could do to improve. When I am out of energy and ability, His Spirit lifts me up and helps me teach even when I feel like I have no more left inside me. How fortunate can one person be????
Can you see why I have the best-paying jobs ever? Can you see why I am so mind-boggling weathy??? It just bowls me over sometimes!
