Thanks for the phone call.

A couple of weeks ago Jim went out of town for his work. He was going to be gone the whole week and I was not looking forward to it. One of the first days he was gone I started feeling sorry for myself. I was frustrated that he left me here where I don't have any family around. I've really struggled with being away from family and friends. By about dinner time all I wanted to do was to crawl into bed and cry, but I needed to take care of my girls. While I was fixing dinner the phone rang. Not wanting to answer it, I handed the phone to Brindley. It didn't take long and the phone was handed back to me. I tried to put on a happy mood and talk for a few minutes. Nothing way awesome was said over the phone, but by the time I hung up I was in tears and very thankful that this person had called. I realized that she had been prompted to call me and I needed that call to help me. After hanging up the phone my feelings through the evening improved a ton.

The reason I share this is not for sympathy, but to hopefully make you think of when you are prompted to do something....whether it be making a phone call, taking dinner to someone, sending a card, or something else that you feel prompted to do.

I have tried alot in the last couple of years to follow through on promptings that I have recieved. Some I haven't done, but some I have. There have been a few that I have followed that I haven't really even thought about and later I have heard how much it helped that person.

Because I know how much it has helped me when I have recieved a container of soup for dinner, or a phone call when I didn't want it, but needed it, I will continue to make this a goal.

Thanks to all of you that give service and inspire me.
