James' new calling

June 16 is a pretty special day for us this year.  In addition to being Father's Day, it is also our one year anniversary.  I have an amazing husband, and am often caught off guard with the recognition of how fortunate I am.  A week ago  I was sitting in church and had one of those amazing moments of joy.  James had been late to sacrament meeting because he was meeting with the Stake President.  I was thinking about how very happy I was to be married to this man, particularly that he is worthy and willing to serve in callings as asked.  He will be a great Elder's Quorum President.  To top it off, as we sang the closing song, he made me smile even more, adding the word "a" before the last word in the first verse.

1. Today, while the sun shines, work with a will;

Today all your duties with patience fulfill.

Today, while the birds sing, harbor no care;

Call life a good gift; call the world fair.

(Chorus)

Today, today, work with a will;

Today, today, your duties fulfill.

Today, today, work while you may;

Prepare for tomorrow by working today.

2. Today seek the treasure better than gold,

The peace and the joy that are found in the fold.

Today seek the gems that shine in the heart;

While here we labor, choose the better part.

3. Today seek for goodness, virtue, and truth,

As crown of your life and the grace of your youth.

Today, while the heart beats, live to be true,

Constant and faithful all the way through.
