When His enabling power helped me

Sister Esplin's talk on the Sacrament inspired me to think about how the enabling power helped me throughout the past week instead of just what I need to repent of (as I ponder during the Sacrament). And so I am thinking of that right now and figure I should record it. 

1. I decided to offer a lonely mercantile store owner a Book of Mormon. He said he didn't believe in God and that the book wouldn't do him any good. So I said "Okay, have a good day" and left. And I didn't regret doing that even though he didn't accept it. So, that is probably the enabling power helping me feel that way.
2. Mom asked me to teach the YW on Sunday, and I wasn't sure what to teach. Then I prayed and studied for a minute and found something to share. It was great and I felt good and excited and inspired about it. It was about having real and lasting happiness, and I got a good feeling about sharing Alma 22 and about how Lamoni's father was willing to give up anything and everything to know God and have real joy. 
3. I guess I was able to me more gracious than usual when sweet Momma wanted to buy me maternity clothes. 

I guess this is just inspiring me to think to use the enabling power more often.
