Gathering and doing the work for the house of Israel is so important. We need to take it upon ourselves to do more in order to fulfill God's commandments and bring to past the promises made and given to us.
Sometimes in life, we labor and our labors don't show or we must go out and do more or be more than we were before. I think this parable shows a lot about life and is trying to give us a better look at what we should do and how we should live our lives to better live them the way that Heavenly Father wants us to live.

Jacob 5:71 ye shall have joy in the fruit which I shall lay up

The reward of the servants is that they will have joy in the fruit of their labors. The Lord has said:

   'And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

   And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!' (DC 18:15-16).*

We need to do our part and all we can to labor and God will do as He always promises to give us blessings and see that we are happy.

The millennium will last 1000 years and we will be more fully doing the work of the Lord to fulfill these prophecies. Then the earth will be burnt.

Blessing: I was able to go to Power 2 Become this weekend.

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
