So for lunch everyday I have a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich with milk just so i dont have to eat the nasty lunch food or spend $2.25 on something I force myself to eat.
Well last night around 10 as i was making my sandwich for this morning I realized that everytime i make a sandwich i: First spread my Peanut Butter on the right slice of bread, then walk to the fridge and grab the jelly and spead it on the left slice of bread.
It was weird to think about. How I mechanically make a sandwich the same way every night.
It got me thinking on my scripture reading and daily prayers.
I do them but not everynight, and when i do, do them its a mechanical system; pray for help to understand the scriptures i read and help remembering them for future refrence.
Read scriptures for as long as i can and then pray again for the night and slide into bed and go to sleep.
Anyone else do this??
Well bear with me and let try to get better at not doing these sacred things mechanically!

Very good analogy. Our lesson today was on praying in faith, similar concept. We need to make our scripture study and our prayers more meaningful. Good job, Shantae. Love, Sister Johnson
You're awesome...Just remember: at times going through the motions is all that gets done, however you are not wasting your time because you are creating a habit that will carry you to the next season of life. So, when you need to be able to get answers to specific prayers you will not have to feel like you only go to Heavenly Father when you are in "need". Love Ya!
i LOVE pb and j!
