Service with a Smile :)

Seeing Kenny leave for basic, surprisingly wasn't as hard as I anticipated. Of course I missed him but I just got so busy with school and working that I really didn't have time to mope. Last week it caught up to me. I was feeling very down, I missed Kenny terribly, I was stressing about wedding plans, and getting behind in my school work. Sunday came around and I was a mess, I just wanted Kenny to be here to tell me to stop stressing and get over it, haha he is so tender :) In Sacrament meeting the topic was on service. It was exactly what I needed to hear! The spirit was so strong and afterward I just felt recharged and ready to face the week! My new goal is to do little acts of service everyday. Like yesterday I cleaned the whole kitchen for my mom, although it didn't last long :) It still made me happy to know I helped out. It's like a little game now, I have to look for acts of service I can do and when I find them I get all excited! It's weird I know but it makes me happy to know I will bring a smile to someone's face. I now challenge YOU to do the same thing! These acts can be as simple as smiling at someone at the store who looks down, opening a door for someone, or baking someone cookies! I know we all get busy in our lives, (trust me I know, I am a full time student, with a full time job, and I am planning my wedding), but If we all take a few minutes each day to serve someone, think of the effect we could have! It will make them happy and in turn make you happy. 

Matthew 25:40 "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
