What a wonderful Sabbath day today. We attended church, the most important hour of the week as we partook of the sacrament. We live in a youthful ward where the majority of the families have many kids. The noise is high, and the challenge to think of the Savior is difficult.
But if the desire is there, the noise, the crying babies, the screaming others, the disruptions are few for the mind is where it should be, in the Sacrament Meeting, thinking of the atonement and the remembrance of Him. As we recall the atonement and the Savior, our thoughts go to the renewal of our baptismal covenants. We can be, we should be washed clean from sins every week at the sacrament table.
I paused today and tried to think of this week, creating it Spiritually before I start Monday tomorrow morning. I reviewed my plans with Bonnie and we talked about this upcoming week that is going to be a very difficult one because of commitments and obligations.
But we still need to remember the ultimate goal we have of serving a mission in a little over 7 months. If we create that as an anchor, our thoughts of serving for Father in the location of His choosing then anything, everything we do should be a mean to get us closer there.
Where does humor come in? Can we still pursue a mission and laugh about it? Can we make jokes and seek those endorphins throughout the day? Does Heavenly Father have a sense of humor? Is humor bad? Does it take away from the serious nature of the gospel? Do good missionaries tell jokes and laugh with each other? If I am not hit by lightning, tomorrow and for as long as I can, I need to treat the aspect of humor, for I believe I need it. It is a blessing or a curse? Is it good or bad, or either?
