Choices

Everyday we make hundreds of choices. Lots of them we don't have to think about, they're just habits, like brushing our teeth. But others require us to ponder and give serious thought to how these choices will impact us and those around us. On one hand this allows us awesome opportunities for growth and new experiences. We are responsible for our happiness and our attitude can brighten the day and lighten the loads of those we interact with. On the other hand, it can be scary making choices. What we choose determines what course our life takes.

As we make choices I hope that we remember that we are NEVER alone! Heavenly Father and Jesus are there, waiting for us to come to them and seek their help. Our dear Father knows what is best for us and those we serve. Our Savior showed us how to live and gave His life in our behalf and will help us. In 3 Nephi 27:27-29, the question is asked..."what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am... Whatsoever things ye shall ask the Father in my name shall be given unto you. Therefore, ask and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

What a great promise! We can receive divine help if we just humble ourselves and ask for it. Let's do it! We need to remember that we are capable of anything with Heavenly Father's help. We were sent here to succeed and we have the tools to be amazing! Remember who you are and ask for help. Try your best...Whatever shortcomings you have won't matter, the Lord makes up the difference and your best is good enough. He loves you and will always help. Sometimes not in the way you expect but He will be there and will strengthen you so that you can go and be the person He needs you to be for those you work with.

Thank you for all you do! Thanks for the smiles, lessons, preparations, prayers and everything else. You are amazing, you are loved and you are needed! Thank you.

Love,
