best/worst

Best part of my day: introducing myself to the guy sitting next to me in church and really talking to him. Finding out that he's struggling because he's socially isolated, and setting him up with rides and ways to make friends. I felt so good! I am so grateful for people who are willing to help! They are an inspiration to me!
Worst part of the day: my roommate had asked if I would conduct the music in church today, since she was out of town. I did so, happily. I enjoyed myself. (That wasn't the bad part.) My roommate returned and asked how things went. I said it was fine. She replied that someone had texted her and told her that I wasn't nearly as good as she was. It's probably true. But it still stung. As Elder Maxwell said,"[she] could have gone all day without saying that." Now it's up to me to choose not to be offended, and to still be kind to her and to be willing to conduct the music the next time she needs help.


Do I do that? Do I watch my words? Do I make sure that everything I do and say, even facetiously, lifts others? If not, I really need to change. I don't want to be a stumbling block to even the least of the Saints.
