Paying It Forward

So, my mom tells me that my sister says I need to post more:p Well here's one... So lately I have been thinking about how truely blessed I am. When I had no where to turn my parent's were right there and took my son and I in. A bunch of girlfriends and I are headed down to Vegas for a little weekend get-a-way this next week. I have been saving money here and there to be able to afford a little fun. Recently, I had an experience at work that has truely put somethings into perspective. I was just getting off and I needed to pick up some stuff for Brendon. As I am standing in line, one of my immediate supervisors was in line as well. I over heard him telling is wife, "I hope we have enough to pay for all of this". My heart sunk and I knew what I had to do. With out him knowing I purchased a gift card and put some money I had been saving on it. I bought a Thank you card and placed the gift card in it. I left the card blank because I know how it is. Being a young married couple barely surviving. Having 2 young kids, and wondering if your next paycheck is gonna be enough to buy all the groceries that you need. Needless to say, I placed the card in a spot that I knew he would get the next day. A week had gone by and I really had no idea if he had recieved it. A few days ago, when I was alone with him he pulled me aside and said, "I know it was you and Thank You". I started to ball as he was telling me this is total gratitude. He had proceeded to tell me that he didn't know how he was gonna get some food for the baby and diapers. Then this envelope and gift card appeared. I know Heavenly Father was guiding me. I was in that line and that time for a reason. Last week in sacrament meeting, we had this awesome speaker Hyrum Smith and his wife. Hyrum for some who may knows, travels with Steven R Covey all around the world as motivation speakers. His wife had talked about characters in the Book of Mormon. When she was talking about one of the prophets it kinda hit me like a ton of bricks. Here I am a single mom and beginning to wonder if I will ever meet anyone new. She said.... being married is wonderful, and they help you along but when it comes down to it the only things you are accountable to the Lord for are you own actions. I never thought of it that way. How wonderful would it be if we could all do something nice for someone and pay it foward. Don't you think the world would be a much better place?
