A few weeks ago I went to church in Nor. Cal. and the guest speaker was talking about the gift of helps. He talked about when we help a prophet, we get a prophet's reward. And at the end of the sermon he challenged us to be helpers. I think this got things rolling for me.
Since coming home, I've had a few opportunities to help people. I picked up my co-worker and drove her to work because her car was sick; I met a friend of a friend who just moved into town and I'll pick her up to go to church on Sunday; and tomorrow I'll pick up a different co-worker from her mechanic's and take her to and back from work.
I guess when we tell God that we're willing to help, we should expect that He will bring opportunities our way =). These are really easy things for me to do...they don't require much sacrifice on my part, yet those on the receiving end are so appreciative. I feel I'm getting the better end of the deal. Funny how that works.
Tomorrow I get my haircut - I think I'll go for a more dramatic, shorter cut. I like Mary J. Blige's new do (have you seen her on that new commercial?). I'll see what Heather thinks...
If you haven't seen the commercial, here it is (hopefully this video will stay posted)
If I get a cut like that, I'll have to get some big ol' sunglasses and hoop earrings =).
