AFTER ALL THE GOOD ADVICE WE GOT AT GENERAL CONFERENCE LAST WEEK END I WAS GOING TO QUIT ALL MY BAD HABITS. I REALLY WAS, BUT THEN I THOUGHT TO MYSELF......THAT NO ONE LIKES A QUITTER! SO WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET........ AN OLD LADY BORN IN APRIL 85 YEARS AGO.
I SHOULD........I MUST
THE WORDS SHOULD AND MUST MAY SEEM SIMILAR, EVEN INTERCHANGEABLE......BUT THERE IS A VAST TRANSFORMATIVE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM. THEY MARK TWO PATHS THROUGH OUR LIVES......AND EVERY DAY WE GET TO DECIDE SHOULD WE DO IT OR MUST WE DO IT? SHOULD IS THE EXPECTATIONS OTHERS LAYER UPON US........WHEN WE PICK SHOULD, WE ARE CHOOSING TO LIVE FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING OUTSIDE OURSELVES......MUST ON THE OTHER HAND, IS WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE.PURSUING OUR MUSTS AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE WORLD IS THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME ...BUT EVEN THE FIRST STEP ON THAT ROAD IS A MINI ADVENTURE ALL ITS OWN......WE LEARN EARLY IN LIFE WE "MUST" DO WHAT OUR PARENTS EXPECT US TO DO........OR THERE IS TROUBLE.......WE "MUST" OBEY THE LAWS AROUND US.......TO BE HAPPY WE "MUST" KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS".SHOULD" .....SHOULD NOT EVEN ENTER IN OUR CONSIDERATIONS ON SOME THINGS IN OUR LIFE.........BUT THEN THERE IS THE PART ABOUT I SHOULD DO LAUNDRY, .....I SHOULD CALL MY SICK FRIEND ETC.......CAN KINDA BE TURNED OVER TO "COULD"...... AND GIVE US A CHOICE.
