As I have worked to come to terms with my current stage of life, part of my struggle has been my attempt to find something to fill the emptiness in my heart and schedule. None of the options I considered felt right. And then in the midst of all my searching the message got through to me: "I have enough busy people, I need someone I can call on in a moment of need - I need you to be available." I wasn't sure exactly what this meant but I began to feel satisfied with fewer demands on my time.
Today was one of those days that I didn't have tons of things scheduled. Today was one of those days when I was able to be in the right place at the right time. In each of these moments today my heart felt so full of love towards the one who was before me. I had time and love to give without feeling pulled in a different direction. I could be in the moment for that person. I felt His love for me too.
Today it was reinforced to me that God is mindful of each of us. As we go through life we have experiences that enable us to look at life in a different way than we would otherwise. As we learn and grow we are better able to empathize and lift where we stand*. Lifting where we stand also lifts us to higher ground. Today was one of those days.
*Lift where you stand

This makes me so happy. No doubt the Lord is using you to bless others and you are being blessed in the process. You amaze me.
Love this. I agree with Amy---you're amazing!
That's a great thought!!!
That's so true though. I had an organizer friend who said that when we organize space, we need to leave about 25% empty (shelves, bookcases) so that we actually have a place to put things away.
I'm thinking I need to that with my schedule too---so often when I feel there is someone I can help, I think, "I'm too busy." The Savior didn't do that.
Thanks for the post:-)
