While heading to the church for a presidency meeting, I saw a sister from another ward trying to unload a truck bed full of decorations for a wedding. I had a moment to decide to either walk into the church to the presidency meeting or go over to her truck and offer to help her carry and lift all of her things into the gym?

My mind returned to a situation as a ward RS president years ago. We had had our meeting and after exiting the building we stood by our cars talking. I noticed a couple (not active but I was friendly with the wife) arrived at the parking lot who had a truck load of things that they had planned to put in the DI truck in the back parking lot. My mind kept looking over wondering if I should exit the conversation and go help them unload. After minutes passed I decided to walk over and offer to help, the husband commented, “it’s a little late”. I felt horrible. Was my conversation with my presidency better than serving this couple? Regret has stayed with me for years. Then the opportunity arose to choose differently. Help a friend and arrive a little late or walk past her and head into my presidency meeting. Then we got an email from Bailey's mission that same night. Our thoughts aligned. Join me today as I share this email and thoughts on serving others!!
