I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the
world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the
day. E.B. White
I love this quote. It reminds me that we must do both--save and savor the world. Too frequently, I am content to let the world pass by. I allow complacency and, I'm ashamed to admit, laziness to cause me to drift. If I want to make the world a better place (save), I must do my part. And if I want to
enjoy that same world (savor), I must find the beauty and joy in the Father's creations.
Neither of these can or will be done if I neglect my role. Heavenly Father did not send us to this earth to be passive onlookers. He sent us here to be active participants. I do not believe it is a coincidence that both these words--save and savor--sound so much like Savior, the ultimate example
This I know for sure: we must both save and savor if we are to be like our Savior.
Have you noticed those wonderful days when you get to save and savor together? It's like being granted a little piece of heaven.
