My brother gave an amazing FHE lesson tonight about the love of our Heavenly Father and taught all of the kids about how important they are to Him. He talked about some very personal events in his life and how the answer he received and needed most to hear out of all of it was 'He still loves me.' (He referring to Heavenly Father) As I pondered that thought, I reflected on all of the ways that I am aware of my Heavenly Father listening to me and answering me and the prayers of my heart. The most obvious ones are the amazing people in my life as they all answer prayers and needs and questions daily. I really am amazed by the amazing people that I have been blessed to have in my life. First of all my Husband. He really does amaze me every day with ability to just keep going. Next my children who remind me everyday of how infinite love can be. Then there is my family - truly amazing, I could write pages about each person, and I should, but probably just in my journal. I know that everyone of my sibling's is there for me and always will be. We have a bond that is eternal and I love them so much. I have been born of goodly parents, who were also born of goodly parents. Truly amazing people who I still lean on for counsel and advice and support and love. I have amazing friends who always seem to say the thing I most need to hear or just by living their lives and pursuing their dreams and goals inspire me to try harder and to do better. The valley we live in is full of wonderful people who love and care about each other. I love walking into the grocery store and having at least 5 people to stop and say hello to and care how each other is doing. I love walking into the restaurant and visiting with people who bring their families in to come and meet us. It really does feel like family here.
There are a lot of crazy and hard things that happen in my life, trials abound... but so does the love. I may not have everything I want or hope to have, I am far from perfect and I certainly do not have all of the answers. But I do have the love of family and friends and most especially what I know for sure is that YES - HE STILL LOVES ME.
