It has been great having my list of things that I want to do because now I look for opportunities...and without fail they come, every time.  I signed up to feed the missionaries.  It was great to have them in our home.  I love their example and love for the gospel and they were SISTERS!  I always love the sisters because I can hug them!  Thank you Sisters for spreading the gospel.

Monday's are my grocery shopping days. So I decided today would be a great day to look for someone to go ahead of me in line. I went to Costco right when it opened so there weren't too many shoppers. When I was ready to check out it was not looking like I could help anyone. So (silly, I know) but I said a quick prayer that I might be able to help someone out. Sure enough just as started putting my groceries up I spotted a lady with 3 things looking for a short line. I quickly motioned to her to go in front of me. She was very grateful and so sweet. She put her things down and immediately started helping me load my stuff. She finished checking out and glanced back again to thank me. :) I was so happy!! But it doesn't end there. I was loading upy car in the parking lot and when I was almost done another nice lady came over and asked if she could return my cart. I know that when you look out for others, you'll be looked after. I smiled all day. :)

Today I went with a dear friend to do her act of kindness.  She wrote a thank you note and made someone some cookies.  It was awesome to see someone else want to do these silly random acts of kindess and I just feel so touched that even one person is doing it with me.  :)

I made a batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookies and took them to a few people that needed to be THANKED.  There is something about sharing that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.  Especially my favorite cookies.  I have several dozen more cookies so I might just show up at your house!!

Today I wanted to do something nice for someone at home.  Sometimes its easier serving those that are closest to us because we already love them and we know what they need.  :)  Well, one thing I do NOT enjoy is putting laundry away.  I wash it and fold it for everyone and then deliver it and say, "Your turn"!  I end up helping most of the kids, but Pat's laundry tends to collect.  There will be several baskets piled up from weeks of laundry.  He is a busy guy and he does a lot for this family, so I try not to nag.  But at the same time I don't want to put it away!  Except for today.  I wanted to do something nice for him because he's always working and busy to provide for us.  So, today his laundry is put away!!  And I sorted all his receipts for taxes.  :)

March 2nd, Part II

I was so excited to learn that my ward was able to sign up to clean the Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  Last night around 6:15 I pulled out my recommend to make sure I could find it before we left, we had to be there at 6:45. To my horror I realized that it expired in February!!!!  I called Pat panicked and so sad!  He told me that it was too bad, but we should go out anyway since we had a sitter.  I couldn't let it go and called our Bishop.  He told me to come over immediately and he'd make a phone call.  I left the house with Lukas in charge and told our babysitter to come now if she could! The Bishop interviewed me and sent me to President Wood's house for the second interview.  By then Pat had made it home, Lindsay was with the kids and away we went to see Pres. Wood.  He was so accommodating and signed my recommend.  We rushed to the temple and were just a few minutes late.  It was a miracle!!!  And what a blessing to be able to serve in the temple.  Although I have to say, there wasn't a spec of dirt in that beautiful building.  I got to dust with my dear friend Kelly and others from our ward.  Even though it was my own fault for not checking my recommend sooner, I feel that Heavenly Father was looking out for me and wanted me to have this experience.  I'm so thankful for that.  For His tender mercies.  And on top of that, as I'm getting ready to pay the babysitter, she insists on NOT taking my money.  It touched my heart so much.  What a sweet girl to want to do it for free!!  I know that goodness goes around and the more you give the more you get.  Thank you Bishop Jenkins,  President Wood, Pat, Lindsay and Kelly for making my day/night!!!!!!

March 2nd

Today I get to watch Evie.  She is such a doll.  I'm happy to add this to my RAOK list.  Although it's more of a treat for me than an act of kindness.  I love the blessings that come from loving and serving.  And if you think this face is cute, you should see the legs and thighs on her!  Ahhhh!  Love it!

I woke up so excited this morning.  I don't really have an order of how I'm going to do things, I'm waiting for opportunities to come up.  And boy did they!!!  It snowed last night here in Herriman, so I'm throwing my snow boots on and I'm going to go shovel some sidewalks!!!
