Dying flowers

I sent my husband and Tanner to costco with some list. Tanner came home with some pretty flowers. I put them in a vase and told Tanner that we might keep them for a week. He started crying when I told him that the flowers would eventually die and we have to throw them away. He doesn't like the idea that they're dying and that we'll have to throw them away. I explained to him that there is no root on these flowers. He asked, "Why?." I told him that the florist cut them off. He insisted to put them in a pot and give them fertilizer. I patiently told him that all we need to do is to preserve them as long as they can last.

Be thankful!

There is so much to be thankful for! I wish that I don't have to be reminded through thanksgiving and have that spirit at all times. But, I am grateful for thanksgiving for that particular feeling!
Time has gone by so quickly and I felt like wasting my time so much on the things that are less important. That's right! I need to get my priority straight! How? That's a good question. Everybody's priority is different. Which is the most important to one is not necessarily is to other. So, how would we short them out? Maybe the real question would be: What would the Lord want me to do today? or am I being consistent in teaching my children the gospel or doing our scripture reading/study?
