Today in my young womens class my teacher read us a story of how another girls teacher challenged the class. The challenge was to pretend like the Savior is by you for at least 24 hours and see how that changes your ways or how it doesnt and then try to change what needs to be changed, so this girl went home and started setting the table. As she did this she realized that the stuff she was putting on the table wouldnt be there if the Savior was there to eat with them. So she got nicer plates and a cleaner table cloth. When her parents had seen what she did they said is there going to be company tonight? She just smiled and said nope just you guys! The parents were confused and were pretty sure that there had to be someone coming over, however no one did. Then that night she started reading a magazine and again remembered the challenge and threw her favorite magazine into the garbage. That night as she went to work she smiled at all the customers no matter who it is and she was even nice to all the very rude customers, which was very unusual for her. The next time she saw her leader, her leader asked her how the 24 hour thing went, her reply was it went very well i loved the feeling i always had with me but i still have a crapy job and a sloppy home, her leader then answered, i promise you that if you keep on acting like the Savior is by you 24/7 you will be blessed in ways you cant imagine, so thats exactly what she did and im sure she got the blessings she absolutely needed!
I love this story and just as my Young women teacher challeneged all of us, i challenge anyone who reads this, it will bless you as well. See what happens and maybe even record it in your journal!! GOOD LUCK let me know how it goes if you are daring enough to do it!!!
