Thank you Sister!

I was in an initatory session when I started coughing. I felt embarrassed and frustrated- the sweet sister assisting me quietly and kindly gave me a cough drop and I was fine. Later I snuck out for a quick sip of water- everything was fine. 

Then I was asked if I wanted to do another sheet of names. I excitedly said YES!! I felt the spirit and shed a few tears, but then my nose started to run. Checked my pockets? No tissues. Uh-oh! Here we are again, same sweet sister same quiet kindness-- hands me a clean new tissue. I quietly cry from her kindness. I have just 2 names left, and I have another coughing fit- I feel disruptive and discouraged in myself for being so imperfect. The same sister is beside me, she brushes my shoulder and gently gives me another cough drop. I finish my names and thank her for her kindness with a few tears in my eyes. 

I was reminded tonight of the Savior by this sweet sister and her humble acts of kindness. He loves us and at every moment, whether we ask or not, He gently and quietly, humblely and lovingly reaches out to us. Offering us what we need asking nothing of us in return but to use it and be grateful. I was reminded that in all my hard moments when I feel the worst He is beside me and reaching out in love and kindness to lift me and remind me how precious I am to Him.
