So, the other day in Relief Society, we were talking about how amazing it is that we have living Prophets and Apostle’s that give us guidance that is specifically meant for us, for this exact time on earth. And that is simply astounding. I love it.
The lovely sister teaching the lesson had us do an activity where she handed each woman a small piece of paper, where we wrote on them things that we were currently struggling with and needed answers to. She then collected them, mixed them all up, and handed each woman a new paper. She had us all pull out our phones and had each of us look up an answer to the dilemma that the other sister had written down, based on council given by our leaders. Except for the fact that we ran out of time, she was then going to collect them back and read a few of them.
The one that I got to find an answer to was ‘caring for myself as much as others”
Now, I KNOW there have been talks about this. I know that somewhere, someone has even mentioned it. But, for some reason, I could not find a single thing. Maybe I wasn’t looking in the right spot, using the right phrases, I don’t know. Anyway. I decided, since I didn’t want anyone’s problem to get left unanswered, that I would take some creative liberty and answer her the best that I knew how.
I only had a few seconds, so I jotted down the first thing that popped into my head, and I really think and hope that this was inspired. This is what I wrote to that sister:
Often, when we love others, we are looking at them through spiritual eyes. We can see them how our Heavenly father sees them, as amazing, wonderful, beautiful children of Heavenly Father. We ought to take the time, to then look inward with these same eyes, because if we did, we would see that we too are so important and beautiful and we have all the potential in the world.
I hope she gets to read that. And I really hope it helps.
