Today I bought a busy co-worker lunch. Far too often this co-work doesn't eat all day because he is busy doing tasks for other people. He is in constant service to someone. He has even bought me lunch before. So today I paid it back and got him lunch. Sometimes we just need to help… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 211

#bethelight – Day 210
I've been thinking today how social media has made so many people "look" like their lives are perfect, like they are perfect. News flash. No one is perfect and no one has a perfect life. Today I decided to follow the counsel of President Russell M. Nelson and give up social media for 7 days.… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 210
Enlisting in the Battalion
The discussion this week at church was all about how we, as adults, can help strengthen the youth around us. As I listened, the thought came to me that we are strength all youth, not just church youth. Youth are under a massive, strategic attack. The adversary would like them to lose their identity, forget… Continue reading Enlisting in the Battalion
#bethelight – Day 207, 208 and 209
I'm telling you. my life is on high speed and I can't find the time to write things down. I have been looking for opportunities to give and/or receive kindness. Friday was a long day. I went to the eye doctor. I have missed having my glasses. Then I worked all day. It was the… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 207, 208 and 209
#bethelight – Day 206 and 207
I haven't been very active in the past couple of days. I have gone into the school, but I get the kids to move things around that I would normally do. This is a great act of kindness toward me. I still have a whopper of a headache since Sunday. Sometimes a great kindness is… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 206 and 207
#bethelight – Day 205
Today my husband was kind enough to plant the tomatoes I intended to plant. However, after my face plant yesterday I was not up for working in the garden. In the late morning we went on a little drive. Our first stop was at a little trail for a short hike he wanted to do. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 205
#bethelight – Day 204
Today I was blessed by kindness from my daughter. We were walking home from church when I tripped. I went down hard and slid down the gravel street edge on my face. My 15 year old ran to my rescue. She helped me the rest of the way home, helped me clean the gavel out… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 204
#bethelight – Day 203
I tell my students that "can't" is against my religion. It isn't really against my religion. However, I do feel that "can't" should be removed from everyone's vocabulary. Seriously. What is really holding you back? Fear? Reluctance? Pride? Stop talking yourself out of taking risks. Life will open up! Do something nice for someone without… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 203
#bethelight – Day 201-202
I missed yesterday because I was so busy. I think my act of kindness was to simply do my job. Today I painted faces at a yearbook party at school and I played with my grand-kids so that their parents could go to the movies. On top of that, I am hosting a scary movie… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 201-202
#bethelight – Day 200
Today I was really looking for that surprise act of kindness I could perform. The thing is, when your days are rather routine with work and stuff, it is often hard to find the opportunities to do meaningful acts of kindness. Then, at the end of the day, I remembered that my co-worker/friend had put… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 200
