“Wherefore if God so clothed the grass of the field which to
day is and to morrow is cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you? O
ye of little faith.” (Matthew 6: 30)
It’s hard for control freaks like me to have faith that it’s
going to all work out. If I have done
everything I was supposed to do, bad things are still going to happen, but
somehow it still works out. I have absolutely no control over what other people
do. Add to that my natural headstrong way that gets me into trouble all the
time and still the Lord lets me talk to him. Despite all the stupid mistakes (which
are in the past and I’m not even going to think about) and still I am a loved
and cherished daughter of my Father in Heaven. Every day I am so blessed. I am
so grateful for the little things like hot running water, (we had to go to the
well and draw up water to be heated on the wood stove every day when I was a child) refreshing rain to renew the earth,
beautiful sun rises, children and grandchildren who love me. I’m grateful to
live in a day and age where I can purchase glasses so that I can still read my
scriptures in my old age, for electronic devices, and social media so I can
communicate with my children and loved ones no matter how far away, and for all
those little things we might take for granite. For doctors and hospitals who patch
me up when I slip on the ice and bust up my shoulder.
I am grateful for the big things like the power of prayer,
for the priesthood that has been restored to the earth in these latter days and
most of all for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who makes it all worthwhile. Without
his atonement we would be stuck here lost in cyberspace forever.
