The whole month of January "I haven't been my normal self" I guess you could say. I have been in my own little world, as I have been really working alot on the inside to heal in areas. Its been great because it is allowing me to think alot. Its been weird I keep stumbling onto other peoples stories on the Internet about taking better care of yourself, getting rid of sugar and soda out of your diet. (I have felt the hint, I think I am being worked on) I wrote last January 2010 on my blog (please read that again if you want) about emotional health and how important it is as well as your physical health.
My mind has been going down a different path, and I have been thinking differently. I was standing at the copier making copies yesterday at work, thinking about 2 of my friends. My life compared with my friends is very blessed. I had a feeling come to me whether it was my own feelings or not I couldn't tell, I know alot of times I get impatient with people but my normal attitude is "to just ignore people " I am not a good friend sometimes I know because I get easily mad and irritated when they arent paying much attention to " my needs". I feel like I am giving all my listening ears to everyone elses needs but when it comes to me they have no time whatsoever. So to get to my point I could be a little more thoughtful with there problems and more helpful.
One of my friends asked for me to keep her in her prayers. That is something I dont even do for myself for my own problems. So that will be a hard one for me to swallow. (Sensitive area)
On Saturday morning (this morning) I woke up and I came across an event that Marie had gone to in Salt Lake with some friends yesterday at the Wasatch Women's banquet and that led me to a book that one of her friends had written in 1994. Marie's friend RaNelle had been in a plane crash and she was burned 75 percent all over her body. She had died and came back to life, she described what heaven was like in her short time there and how she had met her son that had not been born to her yet. I went into the bedroom where Braxton was still sleeping and whispered in his ear the information that I read about heaven.
Braxton has just recently gone back to church and he is in the process of becoming a deacon in the Priesthood. He woke up and we spent the morning talking about heaven and he read a scripture from the Doctrine and Covenants from seminary. He is so excited about what he is learning, and he remembers things so much better than I ever did when I was his age. If you would like to read the details about her experience in heaven just a section of her book I have the link that you can click on.
When you click on the link I was so amazed about the flowers and the grass in heaven, she talks about how many times she was supposed to help someone else along the way in her life, but when she didnt therefore there lives were sad and never changed. At the end of her time in heaven she was reminded that the key is love. That brings me back to my friends from yesterday I had that same thought. That maybe I am not helping the people that "I should be helping".
The KEY is LOVE I need to remember that everyday with everyone and everything.
