My Thoughts

Here is a new thing for me. No pictures of my boys, but just my thoughts. You rarely get this for many reasons. But, recently I have been looking around me more, so that my heart sees more than my eyes. There is so much to feel and do. Many days go by when it is too easy to look past the richness in our lives. So many smiles, so many cries. So many let downs, so many joys. So many heart aches, so many to love. I think I am starting to learn (yes at almost 28 years of age) that life is about living. There is joy found in the oddest places. When you are pushed to the limit and can’t see past that moment of pain you start to see something beyond yourself. You learn that someone is on your side. Today, tomorrow, and everyday we will always have something so special, so dear. Something so impossible to my mind, but something that burns in my heart. Our Savior is there….waiting for us. Every fall. Every trip. And even a stubbed toe HE IS THERE. So I am learning that hopefully as I live my life that in someway I am like him. That I ease somebody’s burden when it’s to heavy. Give a hug to the child torn up inside. When I see the world for all it’s hurt, pain, cruelty, unfairness and still think to myself I am living in a world full of wonder. The beauty of this earth is astounding and inspiring, yet it is in other people that I have found the most wonderful beauty I know. Our Father in Heaven put a special gift inside each of us. It is ours to choose to use to bless the lives of others or be as the world …..making light of things that matter most. To my Father in Heaven I am grateful that I get this chance to LIVE and Love all of you.
