Moments

Their are moments in our lives that I think most of us take for granted. We walk on by without noticing their tenderness. Sometimes we might laugh and make a joke of what we experienced, excited to show everyone how funny it was. But lately I have been looking for those moments. Soaking them in. Some of them can really affect you, if you let them. Like for example: Yesterday after work I had a doctors appointment. I got their a little early so I sat down in waiting room. An older lady was sitting across from me, so I politely smiled and stared doodling around with my phone. Suddenly out of no where she said out loud "this was the best trip I have ever been on". I looked around wondering who in this world she could be talking to. But she was talking to me, considering I was the only other person in the room ha! So I asked "where did you go". She told me about her trip to california to visit her daughter and about the train she rode. In the twenty minutes I was in that waiting room I learned all about her childhood, the love she had for trains, and her view on life. But what really touched my heart is when she talked about what a missionary had told her one day how Heavenly Father would give her the chance to find a companion in heaven. She explained to me the joy she felt when she had heard that and how she hoped it was true. That is the kind of moment I am talking about!! How cool is it that I got the chance to meet this stranger and learn how a part of the gospel gave her so much joy! I know Heavenly Father put me in that room for a reason, to help me understand that I am so lucky to have the fullness of the gospel in my life! I am grateful for those little moments. Look out, you might have them too :)
