I'm going to try something different. I usually don't post about religious stuff, but I'm going to today.
Yesterday I read a story about a mother that thought she wasn't good enough. so every time she served, or did something good for someone else she called it "A drop of AWESOME!" At the end of the story it tells of her doing an object lesson with her Sunday school class with "drops of awesome" she said by the end of the lesson the bowl would be over flowed with drops. With 5 minutes to spare the bowl was still empty. The student looked worried. She lifted up a pitcher full of water labeled ATONEMENT and poured water into the glass bowl until it was spilling
out all over the table and the towel the bowl was resting on. The class
went silent.
When we are in a relationship with Christ, striving as God’s sons and
daughters to do His will, He pours more into our buckets than we can
ever hope to imagine. He can fill us to overflowing with peace, with
joy, with perfection, with Awesome. And then what do we do if our bucket
is overflowing like that? Where does the Awesome go then?
I have a testimony of the atonement. Jesus Christ died for us. He suffered for our sins, and was resurrected. I love the lord. I am a proud member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you have a religion, don't be ashamed of it. Love who you are.

Amen to that, Haley.
