Rambles
It is late. I have been at work all day long. I am tired. I did not sleep very well last night. The wind blew so hard that it picked up the grill on the back patio and tipped it over. This has already happened once this year. The first time it was fell into the window well. Now that you know where I am at mentally, maybe this blog will make sense. I usually have a thought or title to start with. Tonight, I am starting on the lower half.
It has been an interesting few days. There are lots of changes going on at work. I don't feel like I am staying in touch with the things at home. With all the things going on, I wonder how much of the sleeplessness is due to the changes and frustrations. I need to work on it.
This evening, I came home to find Little Man in tears. He spent the evening at scouts. They are planning a camp out and told the younger scouts they can go if they bring a parent. It is the same weekend as conference. I have been asked to be present all day on Saturday. Therefore, I will not be able to attend a scout camp. Little Man's perception was, why do I have to be there anyway. It is not like they are going to extend the calling to me. I took the opportunity to explain that I was not going to an interview to apply for the position. I am making myself available because, my priesthood leader has asked me to be there. He was asked by the presiding area authority seventy. The area authority seventy was asked by a member of the quorum of the the twelve. The member of the twelve was asked by the prophet. The prophet was asked by Heavenly Father. I took the opportunity to teach.
We all need to look for that opportunity in our lives. Then we need to act upon them. I have been taught a great deal this week about myself. Someone took the opportunity to teach me. I am hoping that I will be able to continue learning. I did not take offense to the teaching. Instead I was eager to learn. We should be equally eager to teach. Learn, then teach, share, encourage, exhort, love, and emulate those things that are of great worth. You will find greater joy in life if you do.
