I had read the article about the people paying off Kmart layaways and was really inspired. I started wishing that I could do something like that. Except I can't, at least not to the same amount. Especially with me being sure that I've lost my job. I give $1 everytime I go past the Salvation Army buckets. I feel like its not enough though. I want to do more to help.
Sunday morning, our 1st counselor, Brother Braathen asked me about my friend Sister Williams (Sister Shepherd; Christina). I didn't have an answer for him. It reminded me to check on her. So I texted her. Some time later, she texted me back and asked me to meet her at the singles ward. So I met her there and sat through the rest of their sacrament meeting with her. After some talking, I found out she was somewhat concerned about having Christmas for her girls.
At that moment, I got a prompting from the Spirit:
"You wanted a chance to help? Here is your chance. The rest is up to you"
So I did. I helped get a couple things for her and her girls. When I gave the stuff to her, she started crying, which I wasn't expecting.
It felt really great to help :)
