This week I had the opportunity to teach the entire Young Women. As I received this assignment I was excited because the lesson title was "God the Father". Previous to this I had been contemplating on the sweet and tender blessings I feel from God daily. Conner's good night hugs, Sydnee's contagious smile and desire to be good, Meagan's drive, Sarah's hope, Christiana and Corey's marriage, Loryn's love not only for me but for life, and I feel so blessed for my husband's love and acts of kindness he does for me daily. Not only these blessing, but also beautiful sunsets, the clouds and snow covered mountains, the graduer of the mountains and beauty in the pines. All these things and many more help me feel God's Love. I feel so blessed to know my Heavenly Father, that not only do I know Him, but I know I am His child and I want everyone to be able to feel His love and power. I know this is their choice, but I would hope I could just have the spirit present as I taught this lesson. I prayed and was so blessed with sweet inspiration. First I was reminded of a talk that Elder Eyring gave a few years ago in General Conference. As I went to look it up the church had done a sweet video. This summarizes most of my thoughts. How has God influenced my life today. If I truly contemplate this daily I am reminded of not only the simple blessings, but also the tender mercies he sends.
The lesson went amazingly well. THe spirit was present, and many were blessed to feel that spirit. I feel so blessed that I could focus on this sweet lesson to not only remind me, but to help me recommit to do so much more.
I wish I could have been there to hear your lesson and to feel the spirit. Thank you for sharing your feelings here.
