The Same Light

I found out something amazing! My husband said when he shared a room with his brother, that he would have to turn the light off early. He wanted to read his scriptures, so he would go in the closet and close the door so he could use the closet light.
I am one lucky wife! I am so blessed to have the man that I do. He is the man I need. I need a partner who wants to be part of the gospel just like I do. And my husband does!

An Imperfect Filter

I was able to go to Sunday School today after practicing the Primary Program. They talked about making sure we follow the gospel with our hearts instead of making it a check list. One comment was made to the effect: Jesus Christ is perfect and he does things perfect but we are not. Often we are used as instruments even though we are not perfect like Christ. He is working through an imperfect filter and the job still gets done.
This leads to us doing our best and doing things with our hearts especially when we are with other people.
I found a connection...
I had the chance to give an example of how to be brave when we have to do something hard by ourselves to the primary kids during practice.
I had a trombone solo to play during a musical play and I was intimidated. No one else played at all. The trumpet player (older and wiser) told me that no matter if I played it good or messed up, that I should play it strong and loud and with purpose. I hoped it helped the kids who were nervous saying their parts in the microphone. It gave me a good reminder to do my best with purpose even if I mess up.
I sort of related this to Christ using us as instruments even though we are not perfect. We do our best with full purpose of heart and those around us will get what they need and so will we. Even the parts the kids say wrong or the kids that had a hard time even saying theirs, had something to give.
