This is a new experience for me and I relish the idea of it. Later will come pictures when I learn how but for now it is just me expressing my Mimi Moments.
As I sit here in my computer room I am looking upon the desk and see a beautiful picture of our Columbia River Temple. It speaks volumes of where I have been and where I want to go. I see peace, no stress and the mind is clear and all that matters is just BEING.
Being the best in thought, word, deed and showing my Father in Heaven that I am trying so hard to return to Him...even though my life has been one of many storms and pain. I was thinking today of choices I had made that caused me pain and grief. Suddenly I thought of our Savior Jesus Christ and how my choices has caused Him more pain. I stopped and prayed and thanked God for His precious Son and told Him how sorry I was that I had added to His Son's pain and anguish. Just speaking those words "I am so very sorry" brought me a wave of peace and contentment.
I cherish my blessings. I take many of them for granted. I am most thankful for Jesus Christ and His ways...His example. I try to walk His walk and talk His talk...but many times I fail but I have noticed that He is always there to walk beside me if I but let Him. He is my friend. He is my brother. He is my Savior. I am me because of Him.
Even as a little girl He became MINE. Or I should say I became HIS. Then "life" happens and Satan says, "Oh no...you are mine". I found out that I am the master of my fate and I make the decision as to whom is the master of my soul.
I choose Him...my Redeemer, my King, my God.
I promise my next posting will be funny and light. Just thought of this...I am not going to wait until the next time but going to share this funny moment with you now.
This morning Ned was in the kitchen at the bar. I walked to the kitchen sink to get a glass of water. I looked out the window that faces west and saw 4 cats walking in a line, one after the other. I said to Ned "There are four cats now!" And calmly he reponded with "clear and warm." Out of my mouth came "Huh?" He again spoke but this time said, "they said it is going to be clear and warm." I then said, "Ned, what do you think I said?" He said, " what is the forecast now." I rolled on the floor (wish I could) with laughter. I asked Ned when he was going to start wearing his hearing aids...poor hearing caused from years of being in loud, noise farm equipment. His response was his typical smile that says NEVER! We both had a good laugh. It was a fun way to start our day.
MIMI'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: As moisture cream softens the hands, so will God's words
soften your heart. Rub in well. (Deanna Hirz)
Have a beautiful evening wherever you may lay your head. God is good and He is there.
