Just What I Needed

I went through the motions Sunday morning getting ready for church, cleaning myself up, bathing, makeup, and hair. I was not having a good morning and was forcing myself to go. I opted for a comfy, baggy, easy dress. I got myself to the car, without incident, with the ice cream maker, I had to return to my dear friend, who helped me out of a bind. (do comas keep this from being a run on sentence?)

I get to church, walk in, and shake hands with 5 men at the door. I go plop myself down hoping to be inconspicuous and relax. I'm just sitting there minding my own business feeling down and a little angel walks up behind me and taps me on the shoulder. My Tessa gives me the biggest hug and grin imaginable. I melted. I couldn't get enough of her. At that moment I snapped out of it, sorta. I got smiles from Zachary, Collin tapped me on the shoulder and smiled, the baby behind me wanted me to hold her, Dakota got TOLD to come sit with me, and Nor wanted to sit with me and fill my shirt with stickers.

While I was feeling the love I felt the love of our Saviour through the Young Women's program. The talks were amazing, the songs were beautiful, and the Spirit was strong. I am so grateful that I went to church out of habit and not out of my mood for the day. I needed that experience and the Lord knew it.
