This morning I had an epiphany, I have been so sad with the thought of the packages I sent to Daniel not arriving in time and maybe never arriving because I was too dumb to send them registered mail - but the thought came to me that Daniel is in Guatemala to give, and he has received already so many gifts of love - not only from his family but also the people of Guatemala. Not material gifts but true gifts from the heart. This came to me as I prayed this morning and thanked Heavenly Father for this beautiful season that we celebrate the birth of His Son. How difficult it must have been for Him, knowing what His Son would suffer - but also knowing the joy and happiness that His Son would bring. I understand this sacrifice and love, a little better this year - because I do miss my son and as I look at his humble surroundings and hear some of the scary situations he experiences, my heart aches but also swells with joy knowing the happiness of the Gospel he is sharing with many of God's children. AGENCY - isn't that what it is all about? We must experience the sad to understand the joy. I'm grateful for prayer and the Spirit that empowers us to know that God is mindful of each of us, that Jesus Christ suffered for me - that the scriptures unlock the doors of knowing how to return to live forever with our families and Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
I'm still praying for a miracle with the packages - but I'm no longer thinking I hope the thief chokes on a piece of puppy chow!!
