Yesterday morning when I woke up to my alarm at 7:15 I So did not want to get up and out from under my warm comfy blankets.
I even mentioned to Layne, "man too bad it didn't snow a whole bunch overnight so we could have a snow day from Church."
My heart certainly wasn't in the right place, my heart wanted to climb back in bed and go back to sleep.
However I made a commitment along time ago that I would attend Church every Sunday, with very few exceptions.
So I got up and went about getting dressed and hair and make-up done to be ready for church at 9am.
As I was readying myself I had a quick thought "There must be something I really Need to Learn today at church. I've noticed through my life that the Sundays I'm just not feeling like going end up being the Sundays I learn something my Heart really need at that time in my life."

Because of that tiny thought I went to church eager to learn and soak up the Lessons that I could learn from those who prepared to teach us.
And Today was No exception, the lesson we were taught in Relief Society (our Women's Organization) was About how "Each Role we PLAY a part in, in our lives is Important, even if we do not receive Recognition for it, or seem to be appreciated."
There was a wonderful quote shared:
"Not all of us are going to be like Moroni, catching the acclaim of our colleagues all day every day. Most of us will be quiet, relatively unknown folks who come and go and do our work without fanfare. To those of you who may find that [thought] lonely or frightening or just unspectacular, I say, you are “no less serviceable” than the most spectacular of your associates. You, too, are part of God’s army."

As I heard this being read the thought entered my mind "The Savior made his Sacrifice for All (each individual) of us,
Every Infirmity
Every Emotional breakdown
Every Sin
Every Sorrow
That we will every encounter, Not for a select few, But for Me, for you, and for every one who ever has lived and ever will live on this earth."
Every Infirmity
Every Emotional breakdown
Every Sin
Every Sorrow
That we will every encounter, Not for a select few, But for Me, for you, and for every one who ever has lived and ever will live on this earth."
We are all equal in the Lords Eyes and in his Heart, none of our callings or Titles in this life will every make us Superior.
And For this Knowledge I am so Grateful, Because many days we may feel the jobs we hold (we listed out a handful of them on the Chalk board in class, and I took a pic to share below) are inferior, that the work we do, the services we preform go unnoticed and we may feel worthless.
But I was Reminded and taught through our lesson today, that Nothing we do goes unnoticed by Our Savior, he already experienced it so he can Succor us, if we will simply Turn to Him!
I am so Blessed to have attended church and been edified this week.
