This is a Bishop Storehouse order form. As Relief Society president
of our ward, filling these out for families in need is one of my
duties. Today I had the opportunity to help a family of 3, sometimes 7
when his children are with them for the week, fill out a form. The
mother is under a lot of stress, suffers from almost debilitating
depression and anxiety, but still goes to work and tries to pull it
together for her family. Her husband was laid off this last week. I am
so grateful that the storehouse is there for honest people in need.
I'm sure this family will do all they can to make this form a thing of
their past, but for now, I'm so glad (and I am sure they are too) it is
available to them.
I hope I am never in the position to
need this form. I am so blessed to have a husband with a steady job
and a degree so I can go back to work if/when needed. Still, if I ever
need it, I will feel no pride, but complete humility. What a beautiful
organization we have in our church for welfare.
So, here's to giving to those who truly need receiving.
Here's to staying humble.
And here's to a Better Mommy Me.
