Do What Is Right

When I attended Richard Jensen's funeral I learned that he used to play the piano for Priesthood opening exercises at church.  Apparently he only played one song, Do What Is Right. I thought that was pretty fantastic.  As I consider the challenges of life and everything that we are faced with daily I have to say it is not always easy to do what is right.  There are simply moments that arise in our lives when we don't handle something as well as maybe we could have.  There are times when we make a wrong choice and fall short of the example of the Savior.  I don't think any of us go out with the intention of doing wrong but it happens.  For that reason we have a Savior who loves us and who makes it possible for us to overcome our failings and enables us to be perfected through him.  What a precious gift that is.  As we go forth doing what is right in following the Savior, as we repent when we fail in those efforts I know the Lord will provide guidance and strength to weather the storms of life.  As we strive to follow the Lord our spiritual power increases and we draw nearer to our Heavenly Father.
