thoughts on a sunday

With the parable of the good Samaritan, the Master taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves.⁶ With His answer to the rich young ruler, He taught us to shed our selfishness.⁷ With the feeding of the 5,000, He taught us to see to the needs of others.⁸ And with the Sermon on the Mount, He taught us to seek first the kingdom of God.⁹

I should be at church, but the L. Pirate has been so overly tired the last couple days I can't bring myself to wake him up. While I am waiting, I decided to read the First Presidency Message for this month, and I'm glad I did. I love it when I'm gently & lovingly reminded when I need to make personal changes in my life.

I have slacked a bit in my service to my fellowmen. Specifically, I have slacked on visiting teaching. It wasn't deliberately done, but it's just been forgotten while I've been busy with other -far less important- pursuits.

I'm feeling a time of change coming. I'm ready to realign my priorities. Live with specific purpose. Mmm. Yup. A new version of Heather is in the making.
