My Heavenly Father Loves Me

Do you remember singing My Heavenly Father Loves Me as a child? I certainly don't because I have never been to Primary, but when I listened to it for the first time (which was on my mission), I just fell in love with the song.


Today, something happened that reminded me how much He loves me and cares about everything little thing I care about. I've been thinking recently that I have too much free time at night. If I wanted, I could get extra hours at work to make more money. Then I started thinking about how I could do some volunteer work to use my time wisely. One of the ideas I got was volunteering at a mental hospital by my apartment. It's close enough to walk there and it will be good for my resume since my major is Psychology. Another idea I got was volunteering at a Head Start program. I've volunteer there three years ago and I loved teaching kids and playing with them. Also, I am fairly good with kids and I realized that even more on my mission.
Anyways, I've been wondering which one I should do for few days, but I haven't considered it as a matter of prayer but God knows it all. Today, when I came home from working extra in the morning, I saw Stacy who is in my ward was playing with her (I think) nieces. I was invited to play with them and as I was playing with them, I realized what I needed to do. I need to volunteer at the Head Start. It will be so much fun and I will enjoy it so much. I don't know if they are open during Summer but if not, I can volunteer during Fall and Winter. I just know that this is what I have to do. God has given me this opportunity to help me realize what I enjoy and show me my talent that I didn't recognize before.
