Listening

During Primary yesterday I was able to sit and enjoy the Sharing Time presentation. The door to Primary had been propped open letting the beautiful sunshine in. I can’t remember the door being kept open before. I placed my chair by the open door and enjoyed the outside air. As I sat there I heard someone calling my name. I looked around and found a sister standing by her car and gesturing to me. I walked outside to see what she wanted. She spoke very softly. I am surprised that I had heard her from the open door. This was our ward Relief Society Secretary. She was trying to get her attendance binders to church. She whispered that she had Strep throat, and didn’t want to come inside. She asked me to deliver her binders to the Relief Society President.

Later I sent her an email letting her know that the binders had reached their destination. She shared that she had driven around the parking lot hoping to spot someone that could help her, and she was about to give up when she saw the open door to Primary. I am glad that I was able to help. I am glad that the door was left open, even though I can’t remember this having been done before. I am glad that I thought to sit by the door. Many things just seemed to line up. Was all of this just a coincidence? I pray daily that I will be of service to those around me. I think this was an answer to my pray.
