I love Sunday's.
I haven't always been able to say that, but I am so grateful for my faith and all the blessings I have in my life. I try not to take things for granted and I want to exemplify a Christlike life. I have a LONG LONG way to go...but I am trying. I am thankful for the opportunity to practice my beliefs without restrictions. It is hard to live day to day and be all consumed with the vainness and evilness of this world. Sunday's are a for sure time to take a deep breath and rededicate yourself to what you want to achieve and get out of life!
We need Sunday everyday!!!!
I didn't mean to preach a sermon but my religion means everything to me. I am mormon and I am so proud of it. Since moving from Utah I've learned alot and seen a whole different world out here. I took alot for granted being in Utah...talking to the cashier, a complete stranger, at the grocery store about how her RS lesson was last week doesn't happen out here!! I'm not just another member anymore, I am one of a few and people know it and are watching. Not to say that doesn't happen in Utah, but it's just different here.
I hope I can continue to progress and become a better person each day I live.
Now, onto what I really wanted to post...this cute conversation I heard while sitting in Sacrament meeting today. It touched my heart!
I was sitting in front of an adorable family at church today. I couldn’t see behind me but I heard their little boy, 4 years old, talking to his dad about Jesus. I am assuming they were looking at a picture of the temple and the little boy said (who has the sweetest little voice) "is that where Jesus lives?" The dad replied "Yes Jesus lives there." The boy stated, "I thought you said Jesus is in our hearts!" The dad answered back, "yes, we can take Jesus with us wherever we go and keep Him in our hearts." "Oh!" the child responded. He then added "so when we come to church He is with us in our hearts?" "Yes son" the dad replied. The little boy then proceeded "Well what if I always want to keep Jesus in my heart, how will he get home!?"
Is that not the cutest thing you have ever heard!? I thought it was so touching and adorable! No wonder we are told to be as children. They are so sweet, innocent and humble!

That is so sweet! How cute.
I love Sunday's too. Although I have realized that the reason I am so super tired after church is because of the emotions I feel there! It is great. That is a sweet little boy behind you.
That is so cute what that little boy said. Why can't anyone like that sit by ME? I'm always criticizing the guy with the hairy neck in front of me, or the kids who get MY kid totally hyped up. I need to take a deep breath and concentrate on the spirit. It's so hard to do sometimes. But I'm trying.
Ok Jill, you probably have no idea who I am, but I know you and I used to play soccer with Kim back in the day...I just wanted to give you Kudos for what you posted. My husband and I can't wait to live outside of Utah for those very reasons that you stated. We both served missions in the midwest and it is completely different huh? Outside of Utah you really have to live what you believe not just say it. It is a great experience.
so cute!
I love that story! Kids are the cutest!
