A business spin on sacrifice

This past Sunday in Elders Quorum we were talking about making sacrifices and that sort of thing. All my business classes must be starting to wear off on me because as we were talking I started to think of sacrifice in a way that I never had before. In business when you give up something in hopes of getting something more in return it is called an investment. Making a sacrifice to the Lord is the same thing. We give up things in hopes that we will get something better in return such as blessings and eternal life. So rather than look at what we are giving up we should look at what we can gain. I don't know if that makes any sense but it helped me see things a little more clearly than I had been lately.
