Today’s meetings at church focused on one thing mostly… SERVICE! This scripture was brought up I think twice at different times.
It’s true. When we serve others, we are serving our Heavenly Father and doing as HE would do and how he would have US to do as well. When we help others and help them to bare their own burdens and problems then our own problems don’t seem so overwhelming and big because we’re centering our focus on helping our brethren and sisters. Let us reach out, love and help one another because our hearts will swell with charity and we will feel a different kind of great happiness through doing that serving for our fellow people. The talks were very moving and helped me to realize that I need to strive to be a better Saint when It comes to serving others. After church was over, I told Brad I wanted to try to visit a few of our fellow church members… both inactive so we ventured to the couple’s place and they were out of town so we drive to the next destination and I got to talk to this person and let them know that I do love them and care for them and that Heavenly Father wants her to come and hear of the words of Christ and be in the church to feel the love and fellowship that we experience only by actually being IN church and IN the meetings. I hope I helped this person feel a little uplifted!
We came back home and Katie went down for her nap! Brad turned on our Wii to watch Netflix and we eventually watched a National Geographic documentary about the human body. We had plans with church friends to go to the walking track this evening and they sent me a text and asked If they could come hang out so they came over for a bit and I got Katie up, fed and we headed to the track! I walked and talked with my friend about weight loss for a long time and I think we covered 3-4 miles walking!!! Then the best part…. I got to RUN with my lovie! Heh. We sprinted last and he has LONG legs so he SHOT way ahead of me… haha!!! Cheater!!! Our friends had to go so they left and we came home where I ate a delicious small sweet potato and ALMOND BUTTER – delish! We’re about to start dinner and hang out! Feels awesome outside, woot.
Gotta get up early and get ready to head to my gyno appointment to GET MY IUD PLACED, WOOOOOOOOO! Also gotta get groceries at some point. So glad that I’m feeling little bit more happiness day by day and IT WILL WILL only get better from here on out – I KNOW IT! I believe it!!!!!! Thankful, grateful and blessed for this day and my life!
