First of all, God is good and He loves all of us. I have seen many small blessings come into my life since my baptism a couple weeks ago. I think one of the greatest blessings I have received is a renewed strength to press on and keep my head up. It is such a great blessing to feel of God's love in that way. Feeling strength and determination can lift your spirit and change your attitude. Thankfully we can all feel that extra strength through our diligence. It is available to all of us if we seek it out. And even when we don't seek it out God will bless us with it sometimes! He is very involved in your life and He wants to bless you and help you.
Through my challenges I have been able to see life a little differently than I have in the past. I am trying to see the world in a more positive way. I am trying to see people in a more positive way. My baptism helped me to realize that we are all struggling through this life. We all go through painful situations. Some of us, like myself, may have caused pain. I have a greater respect for people and their individual struggles. We can all help each other! The most precious tender mercies I remember from the past year usually came from the loving thoughts or actions of others. You may not know what a smile or handshake means to someone, but to them it could change the course of their life. Never underestimate the power of doing good to others. I am so grateful for the many people who have shown me the true meaning of love, friendship, and service.
I could go on and on about the blessings that have come into my life. I could also still go on about the struggles that I face. Thankfully, my strength comes from a being that knows how to comfort me. My Father in Heaven. I believe in a living God and in his Son Jesus Christ. Although trials and hardships will inevitably come, I know in whom I trust. We can accomplish anything with Them. I am very grateful for my blessings.
