Don't Waste Time

"As if one could kill time without injuring eternity" (Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1971, p8).
"Verily I say men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own freewill, and bring to pass much righteousness;" (D&C 58:27)
"The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth." (D&C 93:36)
"Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.
"And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come." (D&C 130:18-19)

Did you learn something with this time?
Did you accomplish something?
Did you nourish a relationship?
Did you nourish yourself?
Was it time well spent?

Preschoolers and sidewalk chalk

Sidewalk chalk seems like a good way to combine getting outside and art. It helps them learn to draw and write with something really big before trying to master writing small letters on little lines.

The kids like me to write words for them especially their names or initials. Edmund usually requests I draw him a garbage truck. I like to draw decorations pertaining to the next upcoming holiday, too.

They like me to make hopscotch or even just a numbered path to jump along.

What do your kids like to do with sidewalk chalk?
