The People in My Life

I love the holidays. I love how they make you reminece about all the good holiday memories. I love how they make you feel thankful for everything in your life. It's too bad though that we don't think of everything we are thankful for on a daily basis. It's sad that it takes the holidays to help us remember how good our lives are.

Although, it is unfortunate that we don't appreciate our lives until the holidays, I'm still glad we have the holidays to remind us. It think it is quite invigorating. This holiday season I've come to the reminder of how lucky and blessed I am for all of the wonderful and marvelous people in my life. I have so many people in my life that care about me and love me. And I just keep thinking, goodness, Heavenly Father must love me more than I'll ever know to put these individuals in my life. Sometimes it's overwhelming to think that he loves me that much; I often think how can he love me that much? Why would he? That's dumb. And I really don't think those are the thoughts Heavenly Father is trying to put in my head, I think the reason He put these people in my life is so that I can have the thoughts of: Wow, He really loves me. I'm worth something, I'm a wonderful person too.

I'm so very thankful that He loves me that much, that He sees that much worth in me. It's incredible to me how Heavenly Father loves us so much that He thinks of the most worthwhile and meaningful ways he can to show us that love. I mean, He puts specific people in our lives and specific times, and they aren't just any people. They are people who astonish and dazzle our Heavenly Father in different ways. And He knows what their capabilities are and how they will help us progress in life and return to Him. I love it.
