I had an Institute meeting tonight, and during the devotional one of the class presidents shared this scripture. And he shared how lucky we are to remember. Have you ever thought of that? How grateful we are to remember things, like faces, memories, laughs, noises, Christ.. I mean, isn't that what we partook of today in Sacrament? That we would remember Him. I'm grateful for memory. That I get to remember my Savior and his Atoning Sacrifice for me. That he loves me, unconditionally. I'm grateful to remember that my Father in Heaven is just a prayer away, and is constantly ready to help me whenever needed. I'm grateful that I get to remember my sweet Andy :) And all the good times we shared, including our phone calls which mean the most to me. I'm so grateful that I remember that families are forever and that no matter what happens, I'll always have mine. I'm so grateful that I get to marry my best friend in the Temple someday, to be sealed to for time and all eternity, and to have my own forever family.
I'm especially grateful that even through all my hard times, I can remember all the good. I can look back on my life through so many different times and smile :) I can sit and look like an idiot smiling out of nowhere, but that's not what matters. Today was a very humbling day, and days like today make me wish Sundays came faster, or more often during the week. I could use them a lot more. This gospel is so true. So true. I read scriptures with my family tonight for the first time in a while and it was nice to get that spiritual feeling again, and with my family. It has become REALLY important to me, to make that a priority in my future family.. I know it'll keep us close. I've seen it keep other families close too. :) The power of the book is incredible.
One thing I'm extremely grateful to remember, is Brady :) Yup, can't have a post without him in it. Hahahaha just kidding ;) But really... I'm so grateful that even though I have really hard days, I can remember him. I can smile and look back on our memories. I cherish him so much, and I'm grateful for him. I love looking back and remembering things between the two of us. Especially inside jokes. I love when I re-read his letters and I just laugh, all alone in my room, like an idiot, because of something funny he said. Ah... I just love him, and he just is silly and I miss his jokes so bad!! I can't wait until he gets home :)
