Life is pretty simple. There are only two priorities: one is things and the other people. People are always more important than things. Some things are more important than others: i.e. education, food and shelter; but things are never as important as people. Now for mortals -- some people are more important than others. In order, they are, spouse, children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles, neighbors, ward members, church members.
If you never put things above people and never put less important people ahead of the important people, you won't go wrong. It's a lot easier to like people you don't live with, but that does not change the formula.
Almost all problems happen when you put things or less important people ahead of the most important people. Money, pride, honor, power and houses are just things.
You kids take care of one another. I know you will take care of your children. God makes that easy. Remember: people, then things. Your people are more important than other peoples' people.
Thanks for the reminder!! I just need to add.....for my people....I love you....and thank you for loving me through my imperfections.
