Service is so Huge for us especially this time of year! And it should be used more often through out the year! I Love Service! I do admit there are somethings I don't really like doing... but it always feels so good after wards especially if I complain at first(I don't like doing that and doing my best to stop doing it...) and start looking at it as a fun activity than a "boring" activity. And I want to start trying to start doing that to begin with! Service shouldn't be Boring! It should be fun, fulfilling and even helping yourself in a way! :D Matthew 25:40 " In as much as ye have done it unto one of these of the least of my Brethren, ye have done it unto me." We all know that Scripture. I've heard from so many people that Service actually can help you through difficulty, Cause there is some one out there that is having a harder time than you are, and you are able to help them. And also Remember that Christ is there for you to help you through... he has gone through every pain and afflictions and temptations of every kind!
The Atonement. We all don't know how it works... we just know that it does! Let me explain. All we do to use the atonement with the repentance process and the forgiving process, we pray, and do our best in life as we go! And through some tough times, we ask for the pain go away and as long as we are obeying we will have peace to help us through our lives! Heavenly Father isn't going to put us through something that we can't handle! Some small things to him can be huge things to us and he'll help us through anything! We just need to have the Faith. The Question is Do you have the Faith and the Patience to Make it through?
"Fake it till you Make it." I've heard this one before and didn't really understand it till my Relief Society President shared an experience from spending a semester in when she was 18. She was pretty Shy, and her first Calling was FHE Group leader. She was set with a guy she didn't want to be with(get this it's because he was outgoing and Happy just the sort of person a shy person Needs! And it's true! ;) He gave her the Advice of "Fake it till you Make it." Meaning that during the hard times Smile everywhere you go... Look like you're always Happy. People will catch on! And soon you'll find that you aren't faking anymore, you're just smiling because you know you can make it! And it brings a better perspective! :D A Quote that has helped me in life from Swim Team! hehehe! I Love Swim Team! :D Anyways, there was a time where coach Gathered all of us together in his room, and on the top of the Board, there was a Quote that said.
Life is Tough, But it's even tougher when you're Stupid. -Anonymous (Do what works in Life)Coach had someone Write on the Board as we shouted out what really does works in Life, like Simple Services, Smiling, giving compliments, etc. And Asking What's in it for Me? What can I do to make someone's Day everyday? Now Ask yourself, What's in it for YOU? What Can you do to make someone's Day? What Works for you? And if you do that, you'll be able to start looking at life in a different perspective, and will eventually get to an eternal perspective! :D
It was just interesting to me! Relief Society is always so much fun! At least in my Ward, I have a Calling that I Love like crazy! I have so much fun with it! I know I only have 5 minutes, but that can be a long time, or it can be really quick and short depending on the day! But it's a chance for me to be able to teach something whether it is something about a hymn, or a thought of some sort, or music in general, like keeping the beat(which is interesting cause some people don't get it at all), or even reading music... I think I can teach Beat, and actually might have an idea for it! hehehe! ;)
