The Better Part

The girls had a choice to make and it when it comes to these two girls there was really only ever one choice. They had a soccer tournament this weekend and they also had a temple trip. Since we are three hours from a temple, our kids only get this opportunity a couple times a year. They never even contemplated missing. They are starters for the team but they told their coach they had a church obligation that they needed to go to. Lexi had the devotional on Friday in seminary and she shared this scripture in Deuteronomy "Thou shalt surely give him and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him, because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto" Even though it is referring to the poor, she felt that it applied to this situation and how she knows that no matter the sacrifice that she makes, if she puts the Lord first in her life he will bless her more that she can even know!!
