"No matter how long the winter, it is always followed by spring."
I am so grateful for all the beautiful things around me. I am so grateful for Ashley and all that she is. She is always such an amazing example, truth, that there are angels on the earth today. She always has such a glow about her. Ashley is always a witness of Christ wherever she is. She always shows me how I can be doing better, and how I can grow closer to my Heavenly Father. These past few weeks have been so wonderful. I can feel all of God's love around me, everywhere; in the birds singing, the flowers finally coming out, the big blue sky, the Priesthood, the Holy Spirit, and many more things. Thank you Ashley for always helping me honor my priesthood.
Often times when I feel stressed out, I will go play piano. It helps to clear my mind and remind me of another blessing I can enjoy; the beautiful sounds of music. I play hymns, my own compositions, or other songs that make me just feel so grateful.
What would life be like if you couldn't hear the many sounds around you?
What if you couldn't see the flowers in the spring?
Or smell the air after the rain?
Or taste your favorite food?
What if you couldn't touch the new fallen snow during winter?
I have never really thought much about all the wonderful blessings that I have around me. I decided after recognizing these few blessings to give a prayer of thanks for all that I have. Anytime that you think you have it hard, that you can't enjoy the world around you, that you are forgotten, think about a few of these questions. Ashley thank you for being a physical answer to my prayers. Thank you for being one of the many wonderful blessings I have received day after day. Although I see you day after day, and will soon be with you always,...I will always try my very best to thank you for the great blessing you are to me every day.
