I have never written a spiritual thought of anything like this on my blog, but today I'm feeling very blessed and having a spiritual moment. A really good friend of mine is going through radiation for Type 0 breast cancer. She is very blessed to have found the cancer at such an early stage and being about to deal so well with it and realize how blessed she is. I have thought and thought about her and how my attitude towards giving service is. Last night I had a reminder that if I'm asked to do service for others I need to have a more Christ like attitude and not be so of the natural man and have a grudgeful attitude.
Why did I have to find out the reason that someone needed my help before I had the willing attitude. I should have had the willing attitude and if I found out the reason great, but if I never found out the reason then who cares. I should have only had to know that someone, a sister, needed help in the ward and I just do it, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I was Young Woman's leader for a while, and I know more than anyone people need help and volunteers to carry out callings, obligations, and service. Why did I not put off the natural man and be a better person. I know the answer to my own question.... It is because I wasn't in tune with the spirit and I was being selfish.
I need to pray each morning, pray each night. I need to go back to the basics. What did I learn in Primary? What was the basics? Pray and read. Listen to the still small voice. Why is it the easy things are so hard ? They aren't I just am too worldly and need a nudge from my Heavenly Father every now and then to remember my true purpose. It isn't to have a clean house, good clothes, and perfect life. It is to love my neighbor, love my family and learn of Him.
I am so blessed to live in the USA, have a husband that holds the priesthood, to have a healthy family, to be able to go to school and learn more and become more educated. I'm so blessed with great parents who taught me well, to have parents that care who and what I have become. I have a wonderful extended family as well. Great in-laws and wonderful ward members. Why when I'm so blessed do I take things for granite?
I love my heavenly Father for giving my all I have and for the opportunity to serve those around me. I hope I can remember this lesson in the future and always do good.
