Today was a very spiritually filling Sabbath. Sister Sandy Poulton gave a wonderful lesson in Relief Society: Heavenly Fathers scale of our worth is way different than that of the worlds. It is too easy to look at our selves through the worldly eyes: My body isn't fit and perfect, my wardrobe isn't top of the line, I don't make a lot of money, I don't have a career, I don't drive a fancy car, my house isn't big enough. The list could go on. She said something that really struck me "It doesn't matter if we work in marble halls or a dirty barn stall" Our individual worth should be based on something more substantial: honesty, integrity, service. Things that are more Christ like qualities. And we should not be comparing ourselves to others. Heavenly Father is the best problem solver. Take our problems to the Lord and let Him help us through it.
I personally have a tendency to compare myself to those around me and that only leads to self sabotage. Heavenly Father knows me, my intentions, and my situation. What He thinks should be the only thing that matters.
I always walk away from Relief Society with such a recharged feeling of life and how I want to strive to be a better person.
Kelly Rae and her kids surprised us and showed up to our Sacrament Meeting. My kids LOVE when she comes and they wake up every Sunday morning with "Is Aunt Kell coming today?" We had dinner together and the kids just played while we hung out. Over all it was a great Sabbath. Hope you all were able to feel the spirit today even if it was just for a minute.
