Worth of Souls

Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. (D&C 18:10)

How much is the price of one's soul? How much are we worth? Why do our brothers and sisters treat us as if we are worth more or less than another- especially if we are all of great worth? 

Perhaps the question is:  Why do we treat us as if we are more or less than another?

Head- Thoughts
        When looking in the mirror, how do we perceive ourselves? Do we spend a long time obsessing of every detail or do we shun our reflection completely? 
        When walking in the halls, how do we perceive others? Do we grow jealousy, pride, lust, or hatred for the people who pass us by?
         Perhaps we need to evaluate our mind. Having any of the above feelings/thoughts/emotions can be dangerous to how we view All of Heavenly Father's Magnificent Children.

Shoulders- Work load
        When serving others are we doing it the quickest way possible? Are we grumbling? Are we doing a true service to the individuals involved? Are we learning? Do you try to dump the work load on someone else?
        Evaluate yourself with each question and recognize the effects it cant have on your soul and possibly others. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime."

Knees- Kneeling at His feet
        Everybody is worthy to kneel and pray unto the Lord in the Savior's name. At times we forget this, however the times when it is hardest to pray is when we truly need to pray.

Toes- Walking the Path of Righteousness
        Read 'For the Strength of Youth.' Keep the ten commandments. Answer honestly the questions for any bishop or stake interview. For your soul deserves a body willing to keep up with it for it is great in the sight of God.

Have I done any good?

One of my favorite hymns is: Have I Done Any Good, the song starts off with singing the title and then continues, In the World Today? Have I Helped Anyone in Need? Have I Cheered Up the Sad or Made Someone feel Glad? If Not I Have Failed Indeed.

If you've never heard the song then do look it up! Once I was feeling sorry for myself when all of a sudden this song came to my mind. The JOY I receive in this life is through serving others. 

Here is a story of a man who did something good and the affect it has isn't limited to just himself and the receiver of the gift, but all who share in their story.

The Gift

What good have you done today? What good have you received today?

Be-You-tiful

Purpose

This blog has a purpose:  In a world where so many people are confused, I hope to at least change my life for the better by finding the beauty within myself and others. I hope that other people could read this blog and find beauty in others as well. For I am a daughter of Heavenly Father who LOVES ME and I LOVE HIM:) I know the same is true for all of the guys and gals in this world. 

Yesterday while walking to class at Snow College, I looked around and I didn't really care for anyone but then I saw a person whose story I have known for some time. That person was the only person I seemed to care about. Imagine if INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT PEOPLE, WE STARTED LOOKING AT THE STORIES THEY HAD TO TELL. 

How would we feel towards them? 

What kind of beauty is contained in their souls? 

Be-You-tiful!
