I always look forward to Sunday's waking up early putting on my best Sunday clothes to listen to the gospel! After a hectic week being at church makes all my stress and worries go away :) I love to hear people's testimonies and feel the spirit, it is truly a great feeling that I am blessed to have. A friend at work asked me what it was like to be LDS. I told her it was like being re-born and actually live life. I try to be a good example at work and other people that I come across that are not LDS. So this Sunday as I was listening to sacrament I could not help but be distracted by a lady that was late and sat in front of me. It did not bother me at all that she was late, I am late a lot. What bothered me was that after she sat down she took out her nail file and filled her nails all through sacrament. I wanted to tap her in the shoulder and tell her she could do that at home and to respect the gospel. I realized that I was putting to much thought into her rude behavior and as much as I tried it really upset me. I asked my self how do I know she is not multi tasking... and paying attention..!!! but you can tell when some one has your undivided attention and listens not just hears what you are saying. There is a huge difference between hearing someone and actually listening. I gave much thought about it at night and realized that just as much as she was being rude, I too was being rude by letting her actions interfere with my learning. I was so focused on her actions that I lost my self in translation and did not listen to the remainder of sacrament. So maybe this Sunday I will make sure not to sit by her :)
