My thoughts

Its funny how just getting the stomach flu makes you think abt things a little deeper, In between my many trips to the bathroom the last couple of days I have been reading this book titled " Your divine purpose" By Richard Paul Anderson..... amazing amazing book you all should read it!! Anyway today i was reading the chapter,  purchased with a price.  I wanted to write some thoughts and things  they talk abt in this chapter, 


When you think of all the possible ways a person can suffer in this life, be it from physical illness, pain and injury, or emotional trauma, The manner in which the savior suffered is incomprehensible! And yet he DID THIS that he might know exactly how you would feel in your  circumstances. With that knowledge he would know how to care for you PERFECTLY and see you through whatever the trail my be.  He descended below all things so that there is nothing we go through that he has not already felt. 

About his own suffering, the savior said it " caused myself even God the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit and would that i might not drink the bitter cup and shrink". 
And as the scriptures say, for all this, he   is despised and rejected of men ; a man of sorrows , and acquainted with grief... Surely he has born YOUR griefs, and carried YOUR sorrows. He was wounded for YOUR transgressions, he was bruised for YOUR  iniquities, the chastisement of YOUR peace was upon him, and with his stripes YOU are healed!

It amazes me everyday that our savior suffered for ME, for all of us,  he knows every ounce of my sorrow and pain. When i am going through a hard time i know that i can turn to him for comfort because He KNOWS how to heal me! 

For this I am so thankful!

 How blessed I am to be a member of this true church.
 How blessed I feel everyday to know that I am a daughter of God.
 How blessed I am to have an eternal family and to know that we are together forever! The relationships we have here on earth will last for eternity. 
How blessed I am to have 3 amazing kids, Who teach and show me everyday, patience, work, strength, and unconditional love. 
How blessed i am to feel the spirit, the fire that burns deep inside and there is no denying that what you heard or saw is true! 
How blessed I am to feel the guidance and strength From our Heavenly Father to press forward and stand immovable. 
How blessed i am that I know.. I know.
