Answer to Prayers...

Now that I posted The boys for sale blog I guess it is my responsibility to post the answer to my prayers that came yesterday. (you may want to read that blog first) I was praying the whole time before church for some hope or an answer, and guess what, there it was as soon as I sat down in Relief Society, (if you do not know what Relief Society is you may click here) our Ward does Relief Society first. The opening song was one that has become one of my favorites lately and was an answer to a previous prayer, a month or so ago. The words go like this...

1. You can make the pathway bright,
Fill the soul with heaven’s light,
If there’s sunshine in your heart;
Turning darkness into day,
As the shadows fly away,
If there’s sunshine in your heart today.

[Chorus]
If there’s sunshine in your heart,
You can send a shining ray
That will turn the night to day;
And your cares will all depart,
If there’s sunshine in your heart today.

2. You can speak the gentle word
To the heart with anger stirred,
If there’s sunshine in your heart;
Tho it seems a little thing,
It will heaven’s blessings bring,
If there’s sunshine in your heart today.

3. You can do a kindly deed
To your neighbor in his need,
If there’s sunshine in your heart;
And his burden you will share
As you lift his load of care,
If there’s sunshine in your heart today.

4. You can live a happy life
In this world of toil and strife,
If there’s sunshine in your heart;
And your soul will glow with love
From the perfect Light above,
If there’s sunshine in your heart today.

The scriptures that go along with the song are...1 Peter 3:8–12(New Testament) and Mosiah 2:17, 41(Book of Mormon).
This song helps me to have sunshine in my heart. As I think of the words and music I can't help but have sunshine in my heart. Sunshine helps me be happy. In Relief Society the lesson was on being happy...atleast that is what I got from it. First the teacher discussed ways we can be happy/take time for ourselves. Then we discussed ways to serve others, which should make us truly happy.
For my own purposes I will note here, from the New Testament, Mark chapter 12, verse 31. This is a commandment that basically says to love your neighbor as yourself. Now if we do not take care of ourselves/love ourselves, how are we supposed to keep that commandment??? I aplogize for not being the best with my words, but I truly wanted to share my testimony with my fellow bloggers about our Savior's love for each one of us. I know if He loves me and answers my prayers, He must do it for all of you, All of His children! I know that He is there and listens to our every happiness and sorrow. I know that if we will ask He will answer, it may not always be what we want, but He does hear and He does answer.
There was more to the answer and the day than that, but for sake of time that is my answer in a nutshell. I must say now after that, I will keep my boys. I feel a little refreshed and loved, now I just need to plan a girls night out... Anyone??
