One of my favorite conference talks from last weekend was from President
Uchtdorf. During the Saturday morning session he spoke about our busy lives: “Sad
to say, we often even wear our busyness as a badge of honor, as though being
busy, by itself, were an accomplishment or sign of a superior life. Is it? I
think of our Lord and Exemplar, Jesus Christ, and His short life among the
people of Galilee and Jerusalem. I have tried to imagine Him bustling between
meetings or multitasking to get a list of urgent things accomplished. I can’t
see it. Instead I see the compassionate and caring Son of God purposefully
living each day. When He interacted with those around Him, they felt important
and loved. He knew the infinite value of the people He met. He blessed them,
ministered to them. He lifted them up, healed them. He gave them the precious
gift of His time.”
