I wanted to write a post about Relief Society Sunday meetings. I am very grateful that at this time in my life I have a calling which allows me to attend Relief Society. Throughout the week I start to feel exhausted and, quite frankly, defeated. I always look forward to church on Sunday because I know that I will come away with a renewed feeling of optimism.
This was true yesterday. Throughout the first two hours of church I was waiting for something to help me feel better. As the last hour started I began to worry that it would not happen this time; that I would leave church feeling just as discouraged as when I arrived. But, as always Relief Society came through! The lesson was about charity. At the very end of her lesson, the teacher said that she felt impressed that Heavenly Father did not think that this was a new concept for us, or a concept that we needed to improve upon. Instead, she felt impressed that Heavenly Father wanted us to know that He sees the little things we do every day that no one else sees. Our actions do not go unnoticed. I felt the spirit witness to me that this was true. I was uplifted! How grateful I am for this!
I will add one other unrelated thought. This morning I did my grocery shopping for the week. While checking out I was given the opportunity to donate a dollar for children's cancer research. I did so, and received an instant win scratch off card. I pocketed it, and made a mental note to check it when I got home. After I had been home a little while I realized that I had not bought a couple of things, one of which was hamburger buns. I also remembered the instant win card. So, I scratched it off, and discovered I won one dollar off hot dog or hamburger buns. Pretty awesome!
