A Reminder

I am so very blessed. I have no doubt that the Lord has mapped out each of our lives and placed us in the pathway of others at specific times. And I know he is hoping we can just see the big picture and have the patience to see it all come beautifully together. I have been blessed so tremendously lately by those in my life. When the path becomes rocky and I stumble and I look around and think 'Is this really where I want to be?' the angels of my life have taken my hand and moved me forward. Thank you, for carrying me when all I want to do is sit and even dig me feet into the ground.
This quote came to me this week- A reminder that the Lord know how to reach your heart despite all barricades or walls you may build in an attempt to protect.

“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped. Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other.”Elder Marvin J. Ashton

Thank you to all who kept expecting the best of me and seeing who the Lord wants me to become.
