Humble Heart

The last few weeks I have been reading in the bible of the great kings of Israel. I found that they were great men that became prideful and then failed as Kings. It is hard sometimes to be accepting of help. We need to be humble and say Thank You! By letting others serve us we can let them feel the kindness of a selfless act. The huge difference you can make by just saying Hi to someone as you pass or Writing a note of appreciation to a loved one. A humble heart is a helpful heart. I recently became to prideful to hear an answer to a prayer. I kept saying "no we are fine" when we were struggling. After the third time I began to listen. I can't keep saying no when Heavenly Father has put the answer right before me. If we can just humble ourselves and listen to these answers. He loves us and promises we will never go hungry. Let someone else get the blessings by serving you.

Prayer

     Today I learned that Heavenly Father loves me. He is watching out for me and he knows every single thing I do.  When I am struggling, all I need to do is pray. Heavenly Father will answer my prayers at the right time, even if it isn't what I expect. I have been taught this concept my whole life and I've tried to believe it. Today I finally learned it for myself. I saw a miracle happen right before my eyes. Prayer is the most powerful thing we have. Feeling the spirit is amazing. I have been taking it for granted but I'm going to try to be better. No matter what mistakes you have made, Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us no matter what. Love, Al.

Answers to a Prayer

A wonderful friend of ours listened to the spirit as he just sent my husband a text. It was a video from 

• Henry B. Eyring
• April 2012 General Conference

Spencer W. Kimball, in a session of conference, ask that God would give him mountains to climb. He said: “There are great challenges ahead of us, giant opportunities to be... ...that exciting prospect and feel to say to the Lord, humbly, ‘Give me this mountain,’ give me these challenges.” mountains

This touched my husband as he watched choking up with the realization who he had to help him through this hard trial he was given. Our dear savior will help lift us up and comfort us. With the faith in Jesus Christ we will gain a better understanding of the path we need to follow here on earth. The knowledge that we have of receiving that perfect body in the next life comforts the ones who may not have the "so perfect body in this life." He truly loves us will help us, all we have to do is ask.

Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones

My family and I had the First discussion with Sister Missionaries. What a wonderful experience this was. The story of the lost sheep touched my heart. The story goes, there is a shepherd with a flock of 100. There was 1 lost sheep. The shepherd leaving the 99 sheep went to find the 1 lost sheep. We are all lost at one time or another and the savior is willing to come find us. We need to open to the lords help. The spirit was so strong as these sisters taught us the basics of the gospel. This is going to be an awesome experience and with the end goal in mind. We have been found. Love K

Faith In Angels

 

My sons Weston and Dakota were in a car accident an hour after I posted about my family. I got a call from Dakota and he said he was in an accident. I thought at first it was a fender bender. He said everyone was okay. I was a couple hours away and did a lot of praying in the ride down to meet them. As we drove the whole situation began to unfold. It was a semi they had hit. Thank goodness my parents lived 10 minutes from where they were taken in an ambulance. So they made sure they were okay. After hugging them and getting them checked out, I was thanking the angels that watched over them as they walked away with only concussions. No broken bones or blood. One little crack in the windshield. This put things into perspective that life is fragile and these children are a gift and a blessing from our Heavenly Father and they were protected for me.
