Big Picture of Little Decisions

One thing I've picked up on this Conference so far is that little, daily decisions influence our eternal destiny. As someone (Elder Cook?) mentioned wheat and tares sown closely together, I thought of a garden, where you must regularly pull weeds and water flowers almost every day. Little acts may not seem like much, it may seem like the flowers grow so slowly, and the weeds come back every time, but because of your diligent efforts, each day the flowers grow a little, and each time, a few fewer weeds grow back. So keep at it. You're making better progress than you may think. And even if you're not making any progress at all, God sees how hard you're trying, and that counts for a lot with Him. Keep up your daily acts of righteousness and your daily attempts to be a better person. It may not seem to amount to much right now, but it'll all be worth it in the end.
