“Oh if at every moment of our lives we could know the consequences of some of the utterings, thoughts and deeds that seem so trivial and unimportant at the time! And should we not conclude from such examples that there is no such thing in life as unimportant moments devoid of meaning for the future?”
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Everything happens for a reason, and whether or not we can realize that reason doesn’t matter. The reason is still there. The future will be affected; every moment matters to the future. I’m a strong believer in that concept.
So profound. So who are you quoting?
By the way, this idea is embedded several times in the scriptures — from the Old Testament to the Book of Mormon to the Doctrine & Covenants. In essence, “from small things, great things happen.”
You’re so wise.
Love,
Dad
