Serving & Being Served

Tuesday June 12, 2012 

This morning was a beautiful summer day! I had plans to get a lot of things done in preparation for the wedding. The first few steps out of bed let me know that my feet did not agree with my plans! Today was a bad day for my feet. The neuropathy was quite intense and I felt the pain with every step I took. Wearing thick socks & slippers in the house and taking Tylenol helped a little. Among other things, I was really looking forward to planting the gorgeous annuals that I purchase several weeks ago to brighten my backyard. Ashley saw me walking gingerly around the house and sent me straight to my room to lay down and rest. Then she & Lexy went to work potting the 6 large pots I have in the backyard. The pots turned out gorgeous! I can look out my bedroom window and see their colors from my room. I am so grateful for my girls and for the help they offer around the house. It means the world to me.

Later this afternoon, we did go to the store to pick up a few items to help a neighbor who was in need. As we took the dinner over to their home and offered a hug of support and love, it felt so good to be on the OTHER side of service! The neighbor expressed her appreciation for being in this ward and for the support of her family at this time. I'm grateful for a Heavenly Father who has blessed me with the opportunity to serve in some small way and pay it back for all the good that others have done for me. It just feels good to do something for someone else! J
