I am soo grateful for friendships! Last night, Hillary, Brit, and I were on our way to pick up Michelle for Mormon Mardi Gras. Before, we did, we gassed up and ran into a man who was crippled struggling to get home...Brittany noticed it before the rest of us did. She was being very observant. She said this man was trying to ask for a ride, but couldn't speak. So, I turned to Brittany and said, "Should we ask?" She said, Yes! So, we did. He was deaf and couldn't speak. He was struggling to find a way home. So we took him home, and as he stepped out of the car, I automatically thought, "GIVE HIM A PASS ALONG CARD!" I took out a pass along card and told Hillary to give it to him quick! She did, and he was soo happy!!! =) As I turned the car around, he waved bye and was filled with joy and excitement!!! =) I felt great! That was one of the best feelings I have ever felt!!! Sometimes, I think fear really does stop you from doing the right things. That it's ALL Satan! He has a plan to steal the goodness in people's hearts. That he wants us all cold, bitter, and alone. That gives me hope! Hope in life and things to come. Hope everyday! In every moment of our lives. Life really is too short. That we should act like we're innocent, like little children. We should be more like children. Yes, we gain knowledge as we age, but that shouldn't stop us from being like the Savior. Clean, pure, loving, open, gracious, kind. Like an innocent child. We are all CHILDREN OF GOD. We are supposed to be more like him. We can start over and change our lives and the bad decisions we make each day! That's the beauty and gift of the Atonement!!! I am sooo glad I am realizing more and more. As I grow older. I am tired of being scared, cold, hesitatant, alone. Every negative feeling there is, and that's what Satan wants! He wants us to feel miserable like him. Unhappy! I love you, and hope that we do treat EVERY DAY LIKE IT'S A NEW YEAR. =) That we should consistently repent and start fresh. Just keep forgetting about the mistakes we did yesterday. That we need to trust in the Lord and ourselves. =) WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW SO. =)
