~LOOK FOR THE LIGHT~

There was an article written on a Commander William Robert Anderson, the man who first took a submarine under the North Pole from the waters of the Pacific to the waters of the Atlantic. It was an untried and dangerous mission. In his wallet he carried a tattered card with these words: "I believe I am always divinely guided, I believe I will always take the right road, I believe God will always make a way where there is no way."

I believe this to be true...as we were helping our kids move recently, we were traveling down the freeway it had been stormy all along...but pillars of light were breaking through. It was so beautiful, a reminder, as all nature is, that he is always there for us...always!

This world does seem kind of dreary and worrisome at times but I think we need to stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I guess I am saying that as we go through life it's ok to be a Pollyanna..to "accentuate the positive." I think we need to look deeper for the good, that we still our voices when they want to insult or be lined with sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort.

As I sat in the truck waiting for my husband to fill it up with gas, I saw this tall light post...perfectly balanced by 4 Seagulls. They seemed to be all looking to each other...for support? For friendship? Help? Who knows...but they were together in their efforts.

~Believe in yourself. Believe in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that no mountain is so high that you cannot climb it. Believe that no storm is so great that you cannot weather it. You are not destined to be a scrub. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity.

Believe that you can do it-whatever it is that you set your heart on. Opportunities will unfold and open before you. The skies will clear where they have been dark with worry.

This is one of my favorite scriptures...
Behold, this is the promise of the Lord to you, O my servants.
Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.
D & C 68:5-6

I KNOW that he is with us and will stand by us...he will go before our face, and be on our right hand, and on our left, encircling us about with his tender care. Oh, look for his light with all your heart...it is always there.

Sending out to all my sisters in blog-land...all my love! Have a wonderful Sunday.
