Life's Journey

At our Church we have a program called visiting and home teaching.  The purpose of this program is to make sure every person has a home teacher and visiting teacher who comes to your home monthly to share a spiritual message, be a good listener, and to see if the family needs any help.  Lately Kirk and I have both reflected about our assignments and have felt humbled and a sense of deep appreciation for our life.  This is one of the many reasons why I love this program is because while you serve others it gives you insight into your own life, and you begin to feel a sense of gratitude for everything which you have.  Though our life has not always been easy our experiences have given us tools to help others in their time of need.  We are all here together to help each other on our personal journeys.  We are our Savior's hands and this is a beautiful program, and I'm thankful that I get to participate and feel a little bit of what our Savior feels when He serves each of us.  My new focus each day is to ask myself what have I done to make someone's burden lighter?  Sometimes it is a simple smile and a warm "hello" and other times it is a sacrifice of our time and talents.  Through each of my experiences I always experience growth, and when I watch my husband participate  and serve others my love for him grows deeper, and I realize I have been given a good man!
