{ Thankful Thursday and 100 Truths...}

Thankful Thursday
I am thankful that our RS visiting teaching skit we did for enrichment last night is done. I played a dead girl getting to heaven and looking down on her life on earth and what kind of impact as a visiting teacher she was in the lives she taught and touched without knowing it.....
I memorized all my lines and stressed over wheather I would remember them and in the end everything turned out really good. The songs were beautiful and added so much to the night.
I learned a few things doing it too.
I met new people and got to know others better.
I realized while performing our program last night that we are all
really, really HERE for a reason.
I mean I know that already
but we are here to help others, to use our HANDS for good in every way, to live each day like it really is our last, because we never know when we will be taken from this earth and someday look down at our lives and what will we see??? --what did we do with our time??? was it spent selfishly?? Or in always serving others and helping others lives be better, because of our examples and service. Did we listen when people needed us were we where we were supposed to be at the right time..

Will we have regrets? yes probably a few throughout our lives but for the most part will we be proud of what we have accomplished and done? the choices we have made?
I thought about a few things last night up on the stage and looking out at everybody that we all have different lives, different thoughts, feelings and have made different choices in life.
I thought about some of you and what some of you are going through right now,
we are all so important to our Heavenly Father he loves each and everyONE of us and we are all his HANDS here on earth and we all have something to learn from each person we come in contact with. We are here to learn and grow each day.
I'm Thankful for the people I have met throughout my life that have helped me, that have been examples to me, have taught me and who continue to teach me.
I am thankful for the journey so far.
