It's been too long since I did one of these but it's also been in the back of my mind and I have something to share this week. LDS Living came out with a best pieces of advice column and a lot of people contributed. I love getting nuggets of wisdom this way and there were a lot of gems but my favorite was a poem that Elaine Dalton, young women general president, shared.
You don't have to tell how you live each day
You don't have to tell if you work or play
A tried and true barometer stands in its place
You don't have to tell, it will show in your face
If you live close to God and His infinite grace
You won't have to tell, it will show in your face
Wow. Ever since I read that last night, I can't stop thinking about it.
It will show in your face...
It takes me back to Alma 5 which talks about having His image in our countenance. I need to remember this more. In fact, I am going to make it a goal to focus on this during sacrament. Does it show in my face? Maybe if I think of this every Sunday, it'll stay with me all week. That's the hard part for me, remembering to keep up with my goals all week.
Paul shared something really neat too which I've been trying to focus on. He said that during his mission he spent every sacrament thinking only of others and how he could serve them. I tried to do that this Sunday. It was helpful.
I was trying to think about the best advice I've ever received. I think something that our friends the Shamo's told us the other day was one of the best. They said:
Treat everyone like they are truly a Child of God from the people in your family to the person whom you can barely look at between their tattoos and piercings. They are all children of God.
Anyway, that's what I've got today.
