Monday, Monday

Yesterday wasn't the best day...haha. Even though my day didn't go that well I had some tender mercies that really helped to change my mood. One of these tender mercies came as I was doing my scripture study in Mormon. I came across two verses that made me smile. They spoke to me! I had to just shake my head and laugh because it was obvious to me that God was aware of me and loves me. Pretty cool! I know he wanted me to learn a few things, and to remember a few things. Here are the verses: 

 14 And then cometh the judgment of the Holy One upon them; and then cometh the time that he that is filthy shall be filthy still; and he that is righteous shall be righteous still; he that is happy shall be happy still; and he that is unhappy shall be unhappy still.

 15 And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

I learned a few things from these verses. I learned that I need to learn to be happy now, and to be better at finding those little nougats of happiness in my day even when things are not going that great. Happiness is found in the here and now, not at some future time or at some future date. 

I was also reminded that with God all things are possible. He is as described by Elder Uchdorf in his talk "Forget Me Not" (which I highly recommend reading) as, "the most majestic, powerful, and glorious Being in the universe! ...the King of infinite space and everlasting time!". He IS a God of miracles! All things are possible WITH him. It is possible for him to help me through even the little worries and challenges and upsets of my life. It is possible to reach your hopes and dreams. He wants to show us those miracles and blessings in our lives and give us all the good things that any loving father would want to give his children. 

I am thankful for the tender mercies my Heavenly Father blesses me with each and every day and for his patience and love. :) I am truly blessed.
