#18: Weather

God loves me.  How do I know that?  Because it's a beautiful day today!

Outside it is 73 degrees!

Today is a wonderful day.  It's a great day to be happy.  A great day to spread the gospel, and a great day to be a missionary!

During a meeting we had today, we sung the hymn, There Is Sunshine In My Soul Today.  I love this hymn...

"There is sunshine in my soul today

More glorious and bright,

Than glows in any earthly sky,

For Jesus is my light!

Oh there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,

When the peaceful happy moments roll.

When Jesus shows his smiling face,

There is sunshine in my soul!"

Is there sunshine in your soul today?

FACE TIME





So... Last night I began to get bumps on the back of my neck.  My eyes started to itch, and I thought, "Am I having an allergic reaction?"  That, I knew was impossible.  I'm not allergic to anything!  But when we got home, I looked down at my legs, and saw red hives all over them.  I went to bed, but when I got up in the morning, my face looked like this...



What's the first thing I did when I looked in the mirror today?  Well, I laughed.  REALLY HARD.  It was so funny!  I looked like Quasimodo or something.  The entire morning I continued to laugh and laugh and laugh.  Sister Jensen and I took this picture, and I tried to be as serious as possible, but it was just too funny.



I have a testimony of funny moments.  I'm pretty sure the only reason I had this bizarre allergic reaction was because Heavenly Father wanted to give me something to laugh about.  I needed a little face time with myself.  It gave me a greater perspective.  When I'd look in the mirror, I would just crack up.  It reminded me that it's the little things in life that make us who we are.  If we stress over the little things, then we become a stressful person.  If we laugh at the little things, we become a happy person.  

I want to always be able to laugh at myself.  So this post is dedicated to all the pictures that make me laugh at myself.  I hope you enjoy!

So remember, if you ever need a good laugh, make time for face time.  One on One with yourself, and just laugh about all the absurdities in life! 

Day #18: Manner of Happiness

A friend recently shared a scripture with me...

Folks, this Christmas, lets all live after the manner of happiness.  Let us rejoice in the birth of the Savior of the World!  Let's spend more time at home with our families, more energy in laughing and smiling, less time wasted on the computer, playing video games, or watching television. 

Do something today to show God how grateful you are for giving you a life of happiness.
