I noticed at my son's house in Louisiana, they have no clocks anywhere in their home. And they are very laid back when it comes to being on time. I like visiting with them because they are so relaxed when it comes to time . . . as long as it's not something I'm in charge of, or have to meet someone at a certain time, I'm OK.<br /><br />Your post made me think of a podcast I listened to this week. Someone recounted a story a friend told them. A woman had the opportunity to meet Mother Theresa, who the woman greatly admired. This woman told Mother Theresa she would love to go to Calcutta and help her. Mother Theresa responded by saying the only way you can really help in a meaningful way would be to come to love the people so much you can't keep yourself from serving them. To us it's lIke serving in the Conestoga Branch, or the Philippines, or wherever. Loving the people is the key. It never starts out that way, like when we've had new temple presidents, after about a year they really come to love the temple workers. At first they love them in a general way, but after a year of serving, they REALLY love them as individuals. <br />I'm so glad you have this wonderful opportunity. And I'm so glad you are sharing it with us. What did we do before blogging?Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296064721869349965noreply@blogger.com
