Part of Something

I am grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I find great joy in the gospel and love being a part of something that is much bigger then just myself.  The Lord said 'It is my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man' (Moses 1:39).  I am grateful to participate in His great work.  I don't know that I do too much but I try to do what I can.  When there is an assignment to do something I try to be there, doing my part, doing my duty.  I heard a couple of times recently about aged members who still attend church regularly despite failing health or the effects of age.  I thought someone shared the message in General Conference and I know that Elder Ence who was at our Stake Conference last week shared the story about the 90+ year old man who was asked why he attended all of his meetings and his reply was that he wanted to show the Lord which side he was on.  I feel some of those same feelings.  I want the Lord to know which side I am on and so I want to be found doing good.  To be found doing good you have to put yourself in places where you can do good and so when the call comes I try my best to answer it.  Sometimes I cannot.  Sometimes life is in the way but I hope to say in my heart that if I had I would give.
