"Not all will follow the map [Heavenly Father has given us]. They may look at it. They may think it is reasonable, perhaps even true. But they do not follow the divine directions. Many believe that any road will take them to a 'happily ever after.' Some may even become angry when others who know the way try to help and tell them. They suppose that such advice is outdated, irrelevant, out of touch with modern life."Sisters, they suppose wrong." Dieter F. Uchtdorf,
These road maps and directions are not there for decoration. They are there to guide us onto a path of happiness. Let me attest to this. We are not truly happy unless we are heeding the words and commandments of our Heavenly Father. Anyone who has dangled a toe into something else and then has come back, knows this is true. Anyone who has not come back....it's time.
I feel truly blessed today to be a mother. My heart yearns to provide my children with the tools and resources they will need to make it home to our Father in Heaven. These four little "amazings" inspire me everyday to conquer my natural man. A daunting task. But one worth doing. A close friend once said "D'ya ever feel like the journey that you travel when you choose to "take the high road" has jagged rocks, twists, turns, pot holes and gully washes?"
YES!! I do! I also think it's lonely, hot and dusty! But today....I'm choosing it! And my family will be better for it.
On a slightly different but related note, today I acutely miss a very inspired friend. A friend who is far away. A friend that no matter what will always hold a place in my heart. A friend who changed my life and made me a better person for knowing him. A friend who always made me feel good and inspired me to always do right just by knowing him. I'm better for knowing you. To you I say....Thank You SM.
