thank goodness for this perspective

"So much of mortality involves teeth to be brushed, beds to be made, cars to be fixed, diapers to be changed, groceries to be bought, and on and on go those endless chores. They are mundane matters, but in the midst of these mundane things, the real business of living is accomplished -- a friendship to be formed, a marriage to be mended, a child to be encouraged, a truth to be driven home, a Christian attribute to be further refined and developed."

- Neal A. Maxwell
