If the Savior Stood Beside Me




I was told that I needed a project.  I was then asked, what is my greatest desire?  I knew without a doubt what my greatest desire was.  I wanted to truly know my Savior.  To some this may sound strange.  I have wanted this from the time that I can remember. 

The scripture that is the catalyst to this particular journey is found in Matthew 25:38-40-
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee asick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have adone it unto one of the bleast of these my cbrethren, ye have done it unto me.
 
This is a very personal journey for me, and it truly is my greatest desire.  The song above is one of my daughter's favorite, she actually chose this version.  I truly do want to live each day of my life as though the Savior is standing beside me, because I do believe, he is never very far. 
 
As it says in verse 40, this project is going to have to entail some Service, some loving Service.  Some days as a Mom we wonder if we have done any Service, and realistically, the only thing I did today was took care of sick kids, fed my family 3 meals (they were fabulous meals, I might add!), and folded laundry, that is the extent of my service for the day!  But, if I do it out of love, then it works!
