Thaksgiving... Thankful for

I have been thinking about what I am thankful for. I am , of course thankful for my family, friends and so on... I am not making light of that.
I just have been thinking of what I am thankful to GOD for this time, and although I am glad for his blessings of family and prosperity, and the gospel etc.....
What I am most grateful for is something a girl at work said to me.
One sentence too precious for me to share. Truthfully it was for me and me alone. You wouldn't get it.
All the years or primary, church, temple going etc. All the physical and spiritual testaments that HE provided. Nothing ever made it.....personal. Well I don't know how to say it really.
I knew it...know, felt it in in my heart, but
personal.

Her words took all of that and made it real for me.

She just came in...said a few things and left. Just like that. Boom! My world rocked.
Her words.... were from
His mouth
to my ears
when I didn't need it nor was I expecting it.
I wasn't on my knees. I wasn't in His House. I wasn't in my quiet scripture study. Those are the places I normally get my answers.

I was simply in between calls and she happened into my cubbie giving me an answer I never knew I was asking for.

Her words allowed me to trust and let go.

That is not me. I don't trust and I am a control freak. NEVER let go or it will all crumble.

I can let it go.

He cares for me personally. I am his child and I do my best. He sees that and my best IS good enough for Him.

Does this make sense?


All that I have are blessings....more than I think I deserve... but HE thinks I am wrong. He knows I am His

I'm envious! And thanks for the reminder that not all (in fact rarely) answers come while praying.

I'm thankful that you are my friend.
