Priorities

I've been thinking about my priorities lately. When I was a kid, I only thought of my own happiness and what I wanted to do each day. When I was a teen-ager, I wanted to be popular, and to be liked by everybody, which didn't happen, but my priorities were to be friends with as many people as possible, and that's all that mattered. When I was in high school I FINALLY realized that being liked by everybody was impossible, so I was happy having a few really good friends, and I dated a few different guys, and tried to find out what kind of person I was turning into. In college I had a full-time job and I took classes that interested me, which changed from semester to semester until I went to BYU and decided to major in child development and family relations. That's when my priorities changed once again, and I had some good friends, great classes I was taking, and I found out that I missed my parents & siblings! I lived at home for a little over a year, had a full-time job, bought a V.W. bug (my 1st car!!), and almost got married...'til I realized that the guy didn't have me as a priority...so we broke up and I dated other people and ended up dating my college boyfriend a 2nd time and we ended up getting married. He had many of the qualities that I wanted in a husband & I was a priority in his life and he became a priority in my life. Being married for 30 years, my priorities have continued to change over the years, when we started a family, the children came 1st often times, then as they got older, my husband became a priority once again, and now that our kids have all married & or moved out, my job and husband and grand-daughters have become the priorities in my life. I also enjoy my new car, going to Disneyland, volunteering at the temple, and working in the nursery at church, and spending time with our children & my extended family. The one priority that has NEVER changed in my life is I have always put our Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ FIRST, and all else has followed. I'm pretty happy with my priorities at the moment!!
