Youth Gems

I signed up for a subscription to "Youth Gems" and I love it!  You can sign up too at lds.org.  It's  a program that sends you a brief uplifting, inspirational, enlightening email twice a week.  There are different categories to choose from like family, single adult, youth, relief society, etc.  I subscribed to the youth one because I serve with the Young Women... and because I sort of sometimes like to think of myself as youthful.   I totally recommend it - it's super uplifting!  Here's the one I received today:

"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now."

Thomas S. Monson, "Finding Joy in the Journey," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 85
