This weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to compete in a local ballroom competition. My dance partner and I have been working very hard and placed 3rd out of 8 couples.
The scripture I want to share tonight has a lot of meaning to many of us. This week I have been so caught up in practice and work that I forget to look around at everyone else and see that they are just as busy and tired as I am. This scripture encourages us all to serve one another and reach out in little ways, which will bring blessings to both parties.
Mosiah 2:17
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
While at my competition this weekend, one of the girls broke down and had a panic attack in the hall. She sat down and was in tears for a few moments. I was leaving the competition and was in a run, but could see how much pain she was in. I took one moment of my time to squeeze her arm and look her in the eye, and express how beautifully she was dancing that day, before I left, and though I don't know her very well, I hope she could feel how much I love her.
I know when we are in the service of our fellow beings, it will bring peace to our heart and remind us of Christ, even when it is something we don't want to do or don't practically have time for.
I leave my testimony with you,
Mallorie
