Where, Doesn't Really Matter...

A reunion with good friends from Jerusalem yesterday, dates with a few good men this week, a party with a good friend and meeting some other good friends and having the chance to reach out and be that good person in the lives of some friends who needed it this week, drinking juice boxes while swinging on the swings with a good friend, following the promptings of the Spirit to help restore in others the belief in good people... it is all good, life truly is good.

Really it has helped me to realize that whether I am in Jerusalem, Israel or Florence, Italy or Boca Raton, Florida or even Bountiful, Utah--there are good people all around me of every faith and ethnicity and we each bring a great variance of life experience to the table and if we follow the promptings of the Spirit and reach out to others consistently that it really doesn't matter where we live but how we live.

Monday I had the experience to follow the Spirit--the promptings of the Holy Ghost-- the still small voice inside that whispers or prompts or induces feelings or thoughts that when acted upon help me to accomplish good for the Lord and bless the lives of others [to read more on the Holy Ghost please see: http://lds.org/study/topics/holy-ghost?lang=eng] Monday I had the opportunity to reach out to someone that I didn't even know needed it--but God was aware of this person--and through the Holy Ghost helped me to be there and help save a life.

It really doesn't matter where I live or how old I am, or what my marital or educational status is, so long as I know that the course of life I am pursuing is in accordance with the Will of my Father in Heaven and that I have qualified for the companionship of the Holy Ghost and am helping to accomplish the work that my Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ would have me do... then life truly is beautiful!
