I feel so blessed to have them both in my life...I would be lost without them. Knowing how they have blessed me in some of my darkest hours, it makes my heart ache for those who don't have the Holy Ghost or who do not know what our Savior did for us and how it can bless their lives.<br />One other thing that brings me such happiness...everyday...my beautiful family! I am so lucky Heavenly Father trusted me enough to give me 6 awesome kids and a best friend!Johns Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07720468908357897273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-43586691842070095642012-01-11T12:29:51.302-05:002012-01-11T12:29:51.302-05:00The Plan of Happiness is just that!

Being able to have the comfort through trials, learning through trials, and growing and becoming a better me spiritually is what brings me joy and makes me smile! No matter what "life" brings me, I KNOW that I can learn and grown and find the joy within. I am sure that is not really specific but it truly is that simple for me so much of the time.

I recently worked a few random days through an agency where I ended up having to answer that same question because one of my colleagues knew one other mormon person aside from meeting me and she commented that the mormon she knew had led a really fun and exciting life just like I had (I had just got back from a year living in the Caribbean!) and she wondered why we were so lucky/so happy!! <br /><br />For me, I am happy because I have the knowledge that I am a child of God, that he has sent me here for a divine purpose...that I have worth in his eyes. He has great things in store for me and is so willing to bless me if I will live a righteous life. He does pour blessings down upon me and my family that make it hard to ever be unhappy! but that doesn't mean I don't go through hard times...but even in the face of hard times I am happy because I know that what I am facing is just a small moment in time and that no matter what happens in this life - if I lose a job, fall on hard times financially, lose a loved one - I have eternity to look forward to. The time spent on Earth for us is so fleeting that I don't want to waste a second of it worrying or being unhappy! I want to enjoy every minute of it, live life to the fullest - see as much of this beautiful Earth God has created for us, share as much goodness with those around me and be the best person I can be to make my father in Heaven proud! <br /><br />Sorry that turned out to be longer than expected! :)Cupcake Crazy Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10609126344568341428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-91205023854229193742012-01-11T00:28:53.488-05:002012-01-11T00:28:53.488-05:00Everything you said (all the spiritual aspects), b...Everything you said (all the spiritual aspects), but also the sense of family and community. <br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-117320184207225672012-01-10T22:59:31.911-05:002012-01-10T22:59:31.911-05:00Peace and security in my knowledge of the gospel p...Peace and security in my knowledge of the gospel plan in a very mixed up volatile world...and a prophet to lead us.Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.com
