Through a Child
Since today was Sabbath we went to church. I have yet to understand how a vacation is suppose to be relaxing cause I always seem to come back more tired then when I left and I just wanted to spend all day in my bed. I probably would have if we did not have to teach primary. There were of course other reasons for me wanting to spend all day in bed, but those are something that will hopefully just go away. So I slowly get out of bed throw a dress on and walk out the door, and I even remembered my Bible. We arrived at church and I was trying to be upbeat and happy but it seemed hopeless. After singing and listening to the lesson the kids came to the back of the room for crafts. As I was helping I totally forgot about everything that had been bothering me when I woke up, including being tired. I just saw these cute little children trying to glue everything into the right place, using WAY to much glue. When it came time for me to head over to the actual church service I kinda went back to my unhappiness. So I grabbed my Bible, now last night I had been reading a book that is about a teen girl giving her life to God. While I was reading I had this Bible verse just pop into my head. So I looked up the Bible verse again during church and some how felt more calm. I tried to focus hard on the sermon and just let everything else that was bothering me go. After church my dad got caught talking so my mother and I were outside watching all the children run around. As i was sitting on the bench one of the kids from my primary class came up to me and handed me a clover flower. It was the SWEETEST thing!! I don't think he's mom even told him too (he also gave one to my mom). Even though I didn't really get a blessing from the actual church service, just being around those kids and seeing the love in their eyes and even actions made getting out of bed TOTALLY worth it all!! Happy Sabbath!
