Service- I need to do more.

With the Youth group on Saturday we went down to the Deseret industry's in Colton witch is about 45 min north. and i was really glad because its been a wail since iv done some service. i was really glad i went. They showed us a couple of videos before we started about not hurting your self and lifting things properly and then one about humanitarian aid and showing other people who didn't have all the comforts we have and who were struggling. and at that moment i felt a little selfish. So to add to my goals for this new year i decided i need to give more service and try and be more Christ like. and have the thought more often of ..... What would Jesus do.

The group i was in was sent to the main floor were all the clothes were put out to sell. We went threw all of the racks, organized all the sizes, and organized by color then took the cloths that had been out on the for several week witch they had marked and took them off the rack. And what they do with those is donate them to places in need. for humanitarian aid and stuff. and by taking the those clothes off it makes room for the newest donated clothes. and whats funny is that a couple of weeks earlier i had put some clothes in one of the bins at the Church for DI and i found some of my stuff out on the floor to be sold. i was like hey these are my PJ pants from Christmas one year and i found a skirt i got at American eagle i just never wore. I just felt good after doing that. Because some weekends i feel so unproductive and waste full of my time. I realized i need to do a little more service. One it makes me feel good and two your helping others and forgetting your self. And it seem like when you forget your self and focus on others all the little problems you were seeing in your week or whatever aren't there any more. at least that's how i feel right now. I'm feelin good. I just feel more appreciative for what i have.
