Have I mentioned that I belong to the largest women's organization in the world? It's a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it's called the Relief Society. Once a year we get to hear from the leaders of our church, speaking directly to us as members of this organization.
I look forward to it immensely.
Tonight was that night.
First, I enjoyed dinner at Panera with my friends, which was interesting, but fun.
And then we went to the church to listen to the broadcast from Salt Lake City, Utah.
I'll be honest, even though I look forward to it every year, sometimes I walk away feeling a little bit guilty because we've been admonished to do more and work harder.
This year, the theme of the meeting was keeping our covenants with the Lord, mainly by serving others. And I sat there with a clear conscience. I've been doing a lot more service in general, ever since I set a goal for it back in May. But, the past two weeks, I've pretty much devoted more time, energy, and effort than I really possessed to serving.
And that was a good feeling. A Joyful Moment.
