One of my favorite memories...

I just turned on the Mormon Channel to listen while I work on some stuff. The Tabernacle Choir was singing "Take Time to be Holy." The only reason I am familiar with this song is because I sang it with the Relief Society sisters as a musical number in sacrament meeting in my Alaska ward before we moved. I usually came up with excuses to not sing with them - I was usually holding a sleeping baby - because I don't think I'm a very good singer. This time I really liked the song, and was able to be in Relief Society when they practiced so I decided I would sing, even though I probably didn't add much at all. I also figured I should support our music person in her calling so I sang. I am glad I did so that I can have that memory of my dear friends.

I wonder how many other times I have missed out on making memories because I felt inadequate or thought I wasn't really needed. I need to look for opportunities to make memories happen. It doesn't have to be big things, monumental moments of grandeur. But I might have to do things out of my comfort zone. I might have to work a little harder to really make the memory last. Remember that anything of worth will usually take effort to acquire. If it comes easily, it will also fade easily.
