LESSON IDEAS:
QUOTE ON CHOOSING THE BETTER PART: (Luke 10:38-42)
"We should begin by recognizing the reality that just because something is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. The number of good things we can do far exceeds the time available to accomplish them. Some things are better than good, and these are the things that should command priority attention in our lives.
Jesus taught this principle in the home of Martha. While she was “cumbered about much serving” (Luke 10:40), her sister, Mary, “sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word” . When Martha complained that her sister had left her to serve alone, Jesus commended Martha for what she was doing, but taught her that “one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her” . It was praiseworthy for Martha to be “careful and troubled about many things” , but learning the gospel from the Master Teacher was more “needful.” The scriptures contain other teachings that some things are more blessed than others ....
As we consider various choices, we should remember that it is not enough that something is good. Other choices are better, and still others are best. Even though a particular choice is more costly, its far greater value may make it the best choice of all.
Consider how we use our time in the choices we make in viewing television, playing video games, surfing the Internet, or reading books or magazines. Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best. When the Lord told us to seek learning, He said, “Seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom” "

"Therefore, it is good advice to slow down a little, steady the course, and focus on the essentials when experiencing adverse conditions. …. My dear brothers and sisters, we would do well to slow down a little, proceed at the optimum speed for our circumstances, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most. Let us be mindful of the foundational precepts our Heavenly Father has given to His children that will establish the basis of a rich and fruitful mortal life with promises of eternal happiness. They will teach us to do “all these things … in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that [we] should run faster than [we have] strength. [But] it is expedient that [we] should be diligent, [and] thereby … win the prize.” Brothers and sisters, diligently doing the things that matter most will lead us to the Savior of the world."
