Since we celebrate Mothers' Day in May and Fathers' Day in June, I've been thinking about parents, their responsibilities, and how all of us have the responsibility to help God's children. I was reading an article from my church about mothers. It may be about mothers, but many of the principles can apply to each of us, no matter where we are in life: young or old, male or female, single or married, with or without children.
Sometimes, if we are unmarried for don't hace children, we may be confused, sad, or we may even feel ok and confident that God loves us. That right there is the key to happiness: knowing that God loves you and is mindful of you. He gives us experiences to help us learn and grow. In the article, I was reading about the opportunities God has given us to serve others. Each one of us has special gifts, talents , and abilities that can be used for good. We this privilege and responsibility to serve, to lift others up, and to become more like the Savior, Jesus Christ. And as we serve, we can obtain new skills that will help us in the future. We should always serve, help, grow, and most importantly, love as Jesus loves. Charity is the pure love of Christ.
I'm still working on this, on serving, on being patient with the Lord's timetable, but I learn and grow with everyday. I try to align my will with that of the Lord. Only then am I able to find true happiness.
Here is the link to the article. Read it, even if you're a guy! Its awesome!
