The Best Exercise of All

I love this poster!  I've had it displayed in my "exercise room" for several years.  I feel it is apropos following my most recent post.  I currently use a stationary bicycle on Monday and Thursday mornings for my aerobic exercise.  Other days I use the elliptical.  When I exercise physically, I also study the scriptures and ponder.  In my last post, Elder Scott made mention of the "non-negotiables" for exercising our faith in Jesus Christ.

Ponder Timeless Truths

In this fast-paced life, do we ever pause for moments of meditation – even thoughts of timeless truths?

Our Heavenly Father is mindful of each of us and our needs.

Each [of us] can be enlightened and uplifted and comforted as the Spirit of the Lord is felt.

Let us learn and contemplate our duty.  Let us be willing and worthy to serve.

How blessed we are to be here in these last days.

I slept and dreamt

That life was joy

I awoke and saw

That life was duty

I acted and behold

Duty was joy

--Rabindranath Tagore

I know what pleasure is,

For I have done good work

--Robert Louis Stevenson
