I LOVE getting the Ensign magazine. A week ago Sister Beefelt and I got our Ensign, secretly we fight over who gets to read it first, this time I was lucky enough to sneak it onto my desk to read (mwahaha). The first thing that caught my attention was the "First Presidency Message" by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf the first counselor to the Prophet Thomas S. Monson. the title of his message was "Looking for the Good". He says in his message "Have you ever noticed that people can usually find whatever they are looking for? look hard enough, and you can discover both good and bad in almost anyone and anything. People have done the same with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since its beginning. Those who look for the good will find a kind and compassionate people-a people who love the Lord and desire to serve him and bless the lives of their fellowman. But it is also true that those who look for the bad will certainly find things that are not so ideal."
So my friends... I ask you, how are you viewing your life? your family? your community? this world that we all live in? Is your glass half full or half empty? are you looking for the Miracles that God gives us, or asking why me? I know that as we change our view about God, ourselves and the world that we will see everything in a brighter light! We will see the good in everything! I know that God gives us Miracles daily but its up to us to find them! I pray that we may all be able to see the goodness of God in our lives more fully, and to always give thanks to him for what he has done!
My cup runneth over :D
ReplyDeleteI know the kind of people I like to be around are the ones that look for good in everything. Ergo, I try daily to be that kind of person and you know what? It makes EVERYTHING better!
