I am so amazed at how life is whizzing by. Almost May of 2015. Yesterday I turned 61 years old and I am so not feeling that. Of course I know I am not 21, or 31 or even 41, but 61?? Wow, I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father and the life He has blessed me with. I feel alive, beautiful and needed. Isn't that what life is all about? I love the quote by our beloved prophet, kindness truly makes our lives so wonderful. Even if we are not feeling kind, or happy with someone, if we commit to being kind and refrain from hurtful words, it makes us a better people. I truly believe that the kindness we show to those who don't seem to want it, gives them a chance to see the work of the Gospel in progress. Jesus was truly kind, to everyone, even to those who were the moneychangers in the temple, as we read this account in the Gospels, we can imagine His righteous indignation, but can we also imagine his Love for those who were sinning. There are some members of my family in law that are determined to believe that my husband and I have wronged them, and try as we might, our love for them is rebuffed. So we pray and put their names in the temple. We also have a son who is struggling with life, again, we try to help him, but he doesn't respond to our love, we know he loves us, but he loves his friends and lifestyle more. Recently during a temple session, as I was praying for my son to turn his heart, a voice very clearly said, "He is not ready." This may not seem like an answer to a prayer to some, but to me it spoke volumes. I can only be patient and kind. I can only rely on my Father in Heaven and in His timing. His Timing! This can seem so long, but I know through my faithfulness all things will be all right. Our beautiful daughter and her husband came to visit for my birthday and it was fun. I will post pictures if I ever remember to blog. When I do remember it is quite satisfying. Ta Ta for now.
