Today as I walked the path to the garden; I was considering all my blessings.....listing them one by one large or small in my mind as I walked and worked.
As I looked around an overwhelming feeling came over me....Teresa you are so blessed. Yes, death, illness, pain have entered you life.....but....you are blessed.
Even as we stand knee deep in work....I feel blessed. Blessed to have the strength to do the work....and that I have work to do.
The outpouring of blessings makes me wonder- I'm I becoming the person God, our Heavenly Father Intended me to be?
Do I listen carefully to the promptings sent my way?
I love this qoute from President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
When it comes to living the gospel, we should not be like the boy who dipped his toe in the water and then claimed he went swimming. As sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, we are capable of so much more. For that, good intentions are not enough. We must do. Even more important, we must become what Heavenly Father wants us to be.
To avoid some of the deepest regrets of life, it would be wise to make some resolutions today. Therefore, let us:
- •
Resolve to spend more time with those we love.
- •
Resolve to strive more earnestly to become the person God wants us to be.
- •
Resolve to find happiness, regardless of our circumstances. {End quote}
I want to gather those I love around me and let them know how blessed I feel to have them in my life.
Even when things seem just to0 big to handle....I need to remember to just do it a step at a time, make better decisions and try to use my time more wisely.
Quote- "The path toward fulfilling our divine destiny as sons and daughters of God is an eternal one. My dear brothers and sisters, dear friends, we must begin to walk that eternal path today; we cannot take for granted one single day. I pray that we will not wait until we are ready to die before we truly learn to live. In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen." Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf
