Babysteps

Yesterday I didn't do a good job of focusing on Say Go Be Do, so I added it to my morning and evening routines where I would see it several times a day and today I had three small experiences. First, as I was reading my scriptures, I had the thought to pick up a little inspiration book and turned to this scripture, "I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy; And then sahll ye know, or by this shall you know, all things whatsoever you desire of me, which are pertaining unto things of righteousness, in faith believeing in me that you shall receive." I thought it was a perfect witness of what Say Go Be Do is to me and it strengthened my resolve to focus my attention. Second, I was leaving for an appointment to meet a friend and had the thought as I was running out the door to grab a couple of apples to give to her. When I handed them to her at the park, she was so happy. She said she was going to be at the park for a couple of hours and left without anything and was worried about her blood sugar getting low. Had I not taken the apples, as I almost didn't because I was running a little late, I probably never would have known the difference. I doubt food would have come up. It love helping people, so it made me feel really good to know I had helped. Lastly, I was waiting in my car for my daughter to come out of volleyball practice and saw a boy that was trying to get into the locked building. He was standing with a backpack and looked a little lost. I had the thought to offer him my cell phone and then immediately started having thoughts like, "You don't want to scare him," and "I'm sure he's fine." and other such things. But I realized what was happening and offered him my phone. He accepted immediately, called his mom and felt much better knowing she was on her way to pick him up. I realize it has been awhile since I've done this kind of writing. I put it off several times tonight. It is uncomfortable for me, but I'm excited for the growth. I can tell it will bring growth because of the discomfort. I really want to be consistent with this skill. I'm glad that you are doing it with me. Janette
