The other night we went to our church Christmas Dinner Party.
Tamales, Chinese food, jello pudding, potato salad and desserts were served. I can honestly say I've never had mashed potatoes in the same serving as a tamale. It wasn't too bad. I finished off my dinner with my fortune cookie. I wish every meal was finished with a fortune cookie. A yummy little cookie and some words to leave you thinking for the next few minutes/hours/days. Sounds perfect to me.
I really appreciated this fortune.
The time is always right to do what is right.
The time is always right to do what is right.
Whether we are alone or in a large group of people, whether it's night or day, whether we are young or old... it's always correct to do what is right. It may be kind of a stretch but this fortune reminded me of Dallin H. Oaks' talk "Good, Better, Best." In the talk he says, "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” (D&C 88:118)
I like the simplicity of the fortune, to do what is right, but I feel like we can push ourselves even farther and do what is best.

Happy Monday
