My Body

Today I'm very happy that I got to come to earth and get a body.  Sometimes I don't like the shape of my body, or I don't like when my body doesn't work as well as it should.  I'm fighting a cold right now..... but I'm glad that God gave me the ability to fight off the virus, and it's especially nice that He gives me enough strength to take care of my baby girl in the midst of it all.  In the grand scheme of things, I'm workin' pretty well at the moment, and although I know my body will break down and get old and wrinkly, I'm grateful to have gotten one at all.  In particular, I feel lucky that I can see well and I have straight teeth.  Along with my many (and I mean MANY) imperfections, I like those 2 things best.  

Giving Talks

It's been too long since my last post.  I have much to be grateful for.  Today I'm happy that I have to give a talk in church. It gave me a much needed push to focus on Christ, on service, and on being happy. 

 God, in His wisdom, knows when we need pushing.

  Over the past few weeks I have been remiss in counting my many blessings and have instead been a bit selfish.  Now I want to shout from the rooftops how grateful I am for the world and everyone in it.  Yes, as much as I hate (and I mean REALLY strongly dislike) standing on a pulpit and spouting what little knowledge I have for the congregation, it's worth it because of the things I have learned (and continue to learn) from it.
