So SAD!

   There was a Family in my town who recently lost thier 2 day old baby to a horrible accident.  Their Huskey Got out and bit the babe on the head, Doctors were unable to save the baby's life.  I love Dogs, as do these people. As Dog lovers I think we tend to forget that they are indeed Preditors.  They can be unpredictable and are very smart.  This huskey broke out of its cage just before the accident insude. 
  My heart and feelings go out to that family.  I judged unfairly at first, I went wrong by judging at all.

Music Of the Heart

    I spent the day with My extremely talented friend Anita.  She has written amazing music, but there were two of her songs today that really struck my heart.  One I do not know the name of describes the woman I want to be. Worthy of a Heavenly Fathers love, with her mind and heart set on the riches of heaven. The other about which side we stand on.  Are we In or Out.  As Rob listened with me, tears filled his eyes as he describe a general of an army calling to Her troops, are you in or out? are we going to stand for whats right or be lost?  That is the music of my heart.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGCZ5ebxe5w&feature=player_embedded
  This is one of the songs. "In Or Out" By Anita Anderson
  We woman and mothers are just that, Generals at the head of our Children leading them through this war field, teaching them how to navigate the pit falls, dodge firey darts, and fight with all they have.  We must teach them to feel the angels around them standing in battalions waiting to come to thier aid as soon as they are needed.  We must teach them not just to pray, but how to pray, with all energy of soul.  How to bring  our will in sycronisity with Heavenly Fathers so we will know what to ask for, when and how to ask.  How to use the atonement Of Jesus Christ to heal their wounds.  To know him. To know God.

  Anita your music is inspired and inspiring.

Late Night

I spent much of last night chatting with an old friend. A friend I had once considered close, but as years and distance and circumstance often do, now has worn that friendship down to acquaintance. The interesting thing about this friendship was that I considered them to be one of the closest friends, and kindred spirits of my "single" past. Apparently, they did not have the same experience as I did. Though they often told me otherwise at the time. So the thoughts rattling around in my head this morning, are these: Does it really matter how much others care about us? Is more gained through the receiving of love or giving it away?
The answers I have concluded on as of today, but not limited to, are, No It doesn't matter how much another person cares for you. There is SO much more to be gained by giving love away than receiving it.
The love I gave this friend, was an example to me the depth of my heart. I truly and deeply cared, and still do, for their happiness, not the glib I hope you find happiness, but a deep aching desire for them to truly achieve their divine potential and rights. For when any of us really start to live up to our divine potential, it is a miracle. He may not have gained much from our friendship, but I did. In fact, if it was not for him, I would never have grown up enough to Love and Marry the Man I really needed. The man that has taught me more about love, forgiveness, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, than any other person. A Real Man that has shown me unconditional love, and I have learned true charity for.
There is absolutely more to be gained by loving another than being loved by another. Love is what carries us through, it gives us the feeling that we are acceptable to the people we know. Yet the only love that we can give away that is self sustaining, truly lifting and nourishing is the love of our Savior and Heavenly Father, and when we feel that, we desire to live up to the potential we all have. As it fills us from heaven, it fills every crack, every bruise, every hole of your spirit. Then it over flows, pours out and over all our family and friends and acquaintance, eventually the world. George Albert Smith was known for that kind of love.
No, my dear friend from so many years ago, thank you, thank you for letting me grow, for showing me how much I have grown. I do not regret the care I gave you. I do not regret the pain nor embarrassment of losing someone or something I never had. For I gained a little insight into how our Savior Loves, and feels. I am truly blessed.
