Find Yourself Doing

I am without a title at the moment so I am just going to start typing some thoughts. The title will come at some point and we will add it then.

In a past post I shared thoughts relative to speaking to the Highlands Ward Relief Society one night a few years back at a homemaking or enrichment night. I shared that my topic was on the subject of keeping a daily record and using it as a means of accounting for your daily actions. I may have mentioned in that post that I sang Have I Done Any Good in the World Today to the sisters and they joined me, impromptu on the second verse. That was an awesome moment, very spiritual. Anyhow, I was thinking about that today. I want to be found doing good. In whatever endeavor I find myself involved in I want to do good. There are many things that can be done to lift others. Be it some sort of service, a kindly word, or even a smile. There is nothing more fulfilling then giving of yourself to lift someone else. I hope that I can remember those feelings often and be diligent in seeking opportunities to lift and strengthen.

I was blessed today to be able to help a friend in her yard. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am grateful she let me assist. I don't know that it made any big difference for her but I was grateful to help. That is what I am talking about, simple things, they make a difference. There is no need for a great and grand production or anything that glorifies self. No, it isn't about you. It is about forgetting yourself and doing good.

On a separate note it was the last day of school today. Hard to believe that the year has passed. Jack was using my bathroom this morning and called out: "Birds are chirping on the Last Day of School". Those are some amazing birds singing a little song for some amazing kids this morning. Just a few more days and then they will be off to Alaska. I am going to miss them terribly. I love them very much.
