Serving With a Happy Heart!!!!!
We have been having a full week of meetings this week a revival of sorts to help us to draw closer to God and be uplifted. I have had to stay home with my girls for 2 nights but I was able to make it tonight (thank you God)! I was really glad to hear the teaching tonight about how we need to serve God with a happy heart. (these are my words) I know that personally I can let circumstances in my life weigh on me and I don't always seem happy in my service to God or even my everyday life. I really need to seek God and do better in this. I have so much to be thankful for that these circumstances in my life are really so small. I from here on out am going to try and focus on the good in my life and not the trials and tribulations that come my way. I will need prayer in this because satan seems to know how to work on my mind sometimes. I felt like there was a time in my life shortly after I was baptized that even with the world around me I truly felt at peace and I am going to with God's help make and effort to get back there!!!!

Oh...thank you for this sweet post. I am closing my eyes and sitting in your assembly again. You have such dear brethren there and so much to be thankful for...I'm glad you've made it to some of the meetings. I'll be thinking of you sitting there in your little church, especially at the singing this Saturday.
What a sweet message! Just last night I overheard my son reading to our daughter the scriptures where Paul talks about taking pleasure in infirmities, reproaches, persecutions etc. because in our weakness we are made strong. That really hit me last night as I listened. I feel so weak sometimes when tragedy and trials come and it's seems like a happy heart isn't easy to find but I was glad to be reminded that Gods mighty strength is only a prayer away. I'm thankful that my brethren have been such sweet examples of God's grace being sufficient for whatever they are going through. I'm glad you were able to make it to meeting and be so encouraged and share your comforting thoughts with us :)
Thank You Sister Jackie for you sweet words all to often the advesery get to me too and I wonder if other Sisters feel the same way I do and when I read your blog I knew I was not alone that other sisters feel like me to God is so great in that he answers our prayers even when there just a thought know what I mean. The girls are so sweet I love the pictures. Love Sister Charlene
