This morning, being a little bit stressed, I had the feeling like I
should go for a walk. So I did. I ended up walking by the chapel in town and decided to stop. I sat on the picnic bench in the back and just pondered. I looked at the beauties around me and couldn't help but think
of God's love.
Then as the feeling of stress entered my mind yet again, I
began to pray out loud to God while sitting here on this picnic bench. I
had the feeling to simply thank Him for my many blessings. The trees,
the sun, the cool breeze.
I continued to thank him for my family, and
for the opportunities to grow that he sends to me and trusts me with.
Peace filled my mind and I knew that He was close by, listening to me
and watching over me. I know that everything will work out because He is in
the details of my life. Being filled with love, peace and gratitude; I
got up to leave, took some pictures around the church and then as I
began to walk away felt like I needed to write this post here and now.
So I came back to the picnic bench, and thanks to the technology that I
have with me today, I began to type.
I know God lives and loves each of us. I know He watches over us all. When we take the time to pause and "
Be still and know that I am God" He will enlighten us and fill us with His love. (Psalms 46:10) We can then realize as Alma did that "all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it." (Alma 30:44) I
challenge you to think about your blessings and how you have seen God in
your life and then write it down!
He loves you!
