Lyssa's inspirational thoughts for the day!

Remember who you are  ☺️♥️ I had a pretty neat conversation with a sweet co worker of mine the other day. She was giving a relief society lesson on knowing that you are a child of god and she wanted to talk to me about it and get my opinion. We bounced some ideas around and both testified of just that. That YOU and I are children of God. Here, both of us were, crying outside the parking lot of Olive Garden in 90 something degree weather- bearing our souls.  😅 We also talked about how we are so blessed to have met each other and how much our Heavenly Father knew we needed each other in our lives. He often does that, so that we can help lift each other up. Because isn’t that the point of this life? Helping each other? Sometimes we forget WHO WE ARE and who’s child we are. We are God’s children. Do you ever just stop and think of how amazing that is? He LOVES us so much. Do you believe that? We all were sent here to earth with our own packages and trails. God gave us talents, gi

I was serving at Olive Garden last night and what started out slow became more and more of a busy night. I had just gotten double sat. That means you get two tables at once..  😒 it was kind of hectic for a few minutes, but both tables were so patient and kind. My one table was a group of 3 sisters and their mom.

They had just finished their birthday dessert and I had just finished up my other tables and was about ready to go home for the night.

I’ve been trying extra super hard to have the spirit with me

Life is hard A phrase that I’ve heard so many times. Oh you’re having a rough time? Well life is hard. Oh you thought this life was going to be a breeze? Well life is hard. That is what we are told. Life is HARD. While that is true, life is also WORTH IT. Satan’s plan and idea of how life would be like if we followed him was that life would be easy, but it wouldn’t be worth it. Our Savior’s? The opposite. Life would be hard, but it would be worth it. Every trial, every hardship, everything that didn’t work out the way we thought would work out our way, would eventually come together for our gain and for our good. Family get togethers around the holidays are always fun. They are a time where you and your family, the nieces and nephews get together with your brother and sister in laws. You eat, talk, play with the kids, and have a good time. They are also a time when I am reminded of my “single” status. Just me, by my lonesome, a party of one.  🙄 It comes and goes in waves. O
