Sunday Spirit

So I am actually trying to decide if I felt the spirit at church today. It was one of those days.... I spent most of Sacrament meeting in the foyer with Kaitlyn because she couldn't be nice. She sat and cried in the foyer saying she wanted her daddy not me, ya I think that made me madder. I guess the day started off a little wrong, I decided to take a dose of NyQuil about 12:00 Saturday night. I knew better than to do this to myself, NyQuil always does a number on me, and 12 hours more like 18 hours of drowsiness for me, need less to say I had a hard time getting out of bed to even get to church. And once i did get out of bed I was a little foggy in the head. Sacrament meeting was kinda a bust as far as the spirit went for the Anderson Family. Sunday School was spent on the couch in the foyer trying to remember through the fog in my head what my lesson was supposed to be on. So when the third hour began I started off with warning my girls about the strong effects of NyQuil. (what a great lesson ) I then continued on with my prepared lesson hoping that it would be OK.



My lesson was on Finding Joy Now. Week number two of a confusing and broad lesson. The lesson went well, despite the NyQuil problem I was having and the girls seemed to enjoy the light hearted conversation on Joy and how we can have it in our lives now. My favorite quote was...“Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you but on what happens inside of you” by Harold B Lee. In a world that is becoming crazier by the day I think we have to continually reevaluate what is happening inside of us and make a conscious effort to find Joy in our world. Sometimes Greg accuses me of being oblivious of the world and what is going on, But I choose to look for the Joy in our world around us. Sometimes it takes a while to find the good things but I know they are there if we only take the time to find them.
