Obedience 

''When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block." 

-James E. Faust

If obedience is a goal, you will try to be it. Many kids that like the least is being obedient because they want to do whats fun and not having to follow rules of anyone or anything. Which means that it is an irrritation for them. When the start to learn to be an obedient person, it won't be annoying and they will start to get used to it.

"The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have."

 -Boyd K. Packer

Obedience is a way to gain more freedom for yourself. Most of the time, if you aren't obedient to a parent or teacher, you will either get grounded or sent to detention. You will be prevented from being able to use things and lose trustworthyness. If you obey and be a good person, you will be able to do the things you want and people will trust you more. You will also have a better life instead of having problems.

   

Thomas S. Monson and a friend were disobedient when they were told to remove wild grass. Thomas thought it would be a great idea to set it on fire. His friend agreed and they both went to get a match. They thought that the fire would stop on the place they wanted and extinguish itself. Instead of that happening, the fire burned lots of land that could have ended worse. They called for help and people came to extinguish it. If they didn't disobey, the fire wouldn't have cause a close wild fire, but if they did, the fire could've ended worse. They both learned their lesson and will never disobey again.

"Obedience is the great test of life."

-Thomas S. Monson

Obedience happens everyday whether you are young or older. It's when you have to follow rules or directions and you must follow them. It happens anywhere. At school, home, work, parks or amusement parks. You can be told to do something at home like doing chores. In parks for kids you need to obey and play safe. In places like amusement parks you see signs that say no loitering in order to keep the amusement clean and good looking. In places like water parks, you need to follow rules that say no running because the floor is slippery and you can fall and maybe cause great damage to your body. When people are at work, they need to obey their boss. It is important to be obedient because it can make you a more responsible person and keep you safe. Most of the times you will be rewarded.
