I love the Mormon Message that shows the mom with a million things on her checklist, and she hardly gets any of them done because she keeps messing up or doing things for other people. (https://youtu.be/3n-DOKBffuU). I feel like I often feel as distressed an frustrated at things as she is. I think, "maybe I should take more time for myself and start saying no to things." But, I can't. Yes, checklists and things to get done are more important.... but maybe other people are most important. Another video that shows this is about a man who devotes his life to others and other people think that he can't make a difference; at least until he does make a difference. https://youtu.be/Tjnq5StX68g.
Matt 5:16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Even in your (and my) own times of trial, it is important to not forget to serve others. Helping people along the way is the most glorious and satisfying thing that you can do. When you take that time in someone else's life there is a wonderful bloom that comes into your own life that is beautiful. I am so grateful for the people who have served me, and the opportunity I've been given to serve others. It truly lifts me out of my dark places.
