Commandments

Fam,
Music is a wonderful blessing in life. But good melodies must be on-key and follow principles of precise rhythm and proper timing. When they do, it's music to our ears.

It's amazing how music can bring back memories to our recollection. I was listening to some classics that still reside among my favorites of all time. The melodies help me feel hope, courage, love, and joy--pretty good list of qualities from a simple song or two:

Dan Fogelberg
  LONGER
  If
  Aubrey

And there are so many more from today's genre. You have a list of your favorites too. I am frequently impressed with your good choices of music and grateful to select from among many of the great performances you have brought to my attention. I can only list a few:

Jack Johnson
  Perfect

There are so many good tunes. We had our Ward Christmas party this morning...a celebratory Christmas breakfast. Here are a couple more great songs we enjoyed:

You can insert your favorite tune here. The list of melodies are endless. But if we fail to put our ear buds in or do not turn on the music, we never get to experience the good feelings that come from these melodies. The great songs are everywhere, but we have to do something to listen to and enjoy them. Everybody knows that.

And it is no different when we receive the blessings that come from God. They are out there. They are everywhere, but if we don't do the things that bring them into our lives, we will miss them now and in the future. Sure tough times happen. But blessings can always make things better. Just like with music, we have to do something to experience and enjoy the blessings come from God. It's really not difficult, but everybody doesn't know that.

Live and celebrate the intents of your heart.

You don't have to listen to all these songs right now, but hang on to them, they will come handy when you least expect.

Employ the commandments however immediately.

I love you, dad
