A Beautiful Life!




Thought I'd share a cool song with you guys!! I was listening to a song called "It's a beautiful life" (by Fisher) and it talks about how it's a beautiful time to be here, how the world out there is waiting for us, the blue sky, the sun rising etc. and it just reminded me how much we take for granted the "little things" in life. After listening to the song I think i'm going to try harder to appreciate the small things that bring us unconscious joy. I have a funny story to go along with the unconscious joy!


A week or so ago I was running late for class and I was rushing out the door and I got to the car and I pressed the unlock button on the keypad and it didn't make the unlocky door sound, so I pressed it again but nothing. I then looked for the key that opened the door but it wasn't there so I was locked out for sure because the ignition key doesn't unlock the door. At this piont I was ready to give up because I hate showing up late for things. I would rather just not show up (bad habbit I know) I tried calming myself down and stop bad words from entering my mind haha, so I just sat next to the car and started laughing! This little keypad was kicking my butt because I letting it do so. I now treasure the keypad!!!!! Anyways, it's just funny how little things like a keypad not working can turn your day around. So...appreciate the little things!!!

Temple!


Today I went to the Temple to do Baptisms for the dead! It was a really fun experience! As I was in the Confirmation room the guy who reads the names was about done with the confirmation prayer and the moment he said "Receive the Holy Ghost" I had this overwhelming feeling!!! I knew immediately that it was the Holy Ghost and I knew that I was supposed to be there and nowhere else in the world doing anything else! In Sunday School a couple of weeks ago the lesson was on the Holy Ghost and the thing that stuck out to me was that the Holy Ghost is the mediator for Christ and Heavenly Father, and without the Holy Ghost we couldn't know or feel that anything is true and right!

After baptisms I watched the Restoration video at the Visitors Center and Man!, how could you not know that the Gospel is true! The last quote in the movie said something like "the light will shine over those that are in darkness, and they will know the fullness of the gospel." After I read that I was just thinking how God isn't going to leave anyone out...we will all have a chance to come unto him. It just made me think how patient he is with us! That movie shows us how far from perfect we really are, and that we have lots of room to improve in like a BILLION aspects of our lives!

Anyways, that is my feel good moment for the day haha! What do you guys think?
