Truck Stop Revelation...What are you seeking?

Every once in a while I have grand thought.  More often I have a tiny thought and if I give this little thought some attention sometime  I can learn something grand.  About a year and half ago, we stopped at this not so very nice truck stop, and as I was in this yucky place waiting for my little one, part of the Thirteenth Article of Faith popped into my head...
      "If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”
At first I laughed because the place I was at was not very lovely at all.  Then I said myself "Dena,  what do you seek?  What does anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy mean?" 
 
* Okay disclaimer before I go on... I wish I was some profound person, I look up to so many women who are just so wise.  I am not one of those. I feel silly writing things like this because anyone who reads it will probably roll their eyes at my thought process. But I shared this with my daughter and she said this is life changing.  So I thought maybe I could share it with someone who might need their life changed :)  My guess is you will read this and say Duh Dena, I knew that already it took you this long to figure it out.  

And action...back to writing. When you ask yourself that question what are your answers?  I wish you could tell me.  Maybe email me or something... I would love to hear.  Here was my first answer to myself.  Well I seek after good music and movies. What??? That is all I could come up with at that moment.  I have no idea, but that is all I could think of.  So began my year+ some of trying to figure out what this meant?  Things would get added to my list, I seek good friends, I seek modest clothes, I seek for good knowledge, I seek to have good relationships with my family, I seek good food and so on.  Then one day I was listening to a talk and there it was part of my answer!  I wish I could remember what talk it was so I could tell you and also so I could just copy and paste it so it sounds eloquent but I can't, so you will have to be patient with my bumbling. 

It says if there is anything...

I think the easiest way to describe this is by examples.  I was in a gross truck stop, I noticed the filth, but was there something lovely in there? Did I seek to find the lovely? Did I miss someone who had a nice smile? Did I miss someone who might have been having a hard day and I could have smiled at them, and think what a lovely situation to brighten someones day?  With my child who might be a little difficult at the moment am I seeking for the praiseworthy? I am to seek out the virtuous, lovely, good report, praiseworthy in people, situations, relationships...If there is anything...I think in everyone, in every situation, in every relationship there has to be at least one thing lovely...I am to seek those things! Seeking takes effort, it doesn't say look it says seek. If I am having a bump in my marriage and there are frustrations, I still need to seek for anything virtuous, lovely, good report praiseworthy...there has to be at least one right.  That doesn't solve the issue, that still can be worked on, but when you do seek for those things, it lightens the load a little because you can find good. Life changing right!  

I am sure as keeping going along I will get more to my answer.  What are your insights? I would love to learn more about seeking.
