By small and simple things...

Those who reside in the Mormon community know this scripture very well. Moses 1:39, The Lord said, "My work and my glory [is] to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." 


Elder Russell M. Nelson shed some new light on that famed scriputre for me.  He said, "So His devoted daughter-disciple may truly say, My work and my glory is to help my loved ones reach that heavenly goal."
Amazing!, I had never thought of it that way. It sounds so much simplier!
 
He goes on to say, "To help another human being reach one's celestial potential is part of the divine mission of woman. As mother, teacher, or nurturing saint, she molds living clay to the shape of her hopes. In partnership with God, her divine mission is to help spirits live and souls be lifted. This is the measure of her creation. It is ennobling, edifying, and exalting" ("Woman—Of Infinite Worth," Ensign, Nov. 1989, 22).

I love that!  My divine mission is to help spirits LIVE and souls be lifted!  I can do that!
Hooray for small and simple things!
