Quote: Preparing for the Second Coming

"If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow—through our premature death or through His unexpected coming—what would we do today? What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What accounts would we settle? What forgivenesses would we extend? What testimonies would we bear? If we would do those things then, why not now?" -- Dallin H. Oaks, "Preparation for the Second Coming", Ensign, May 2004, 7
In business, it becomes apparent that there is much to challenge us. It could be a dishonest employee, or lack of integrity or work-ethic. It might be the issues of trust that are questioned. Or even personal attacks. No matter the problem, it seems that if we can maintain the eternal perspective -- it is easier to not allow those things to influence our personal peace. I loved this quote and thought it was perfect for today.
