Insights and Awareness of God's Creations

We went to Seattle several weeks ago (June 13) to visit with Matt and Beth when their new little one was born. He was all of one day old. How precious he is! My heart melts when I see that little tiny person have all the faculties of a physical body. I marveled as I saw and felt his sweet Spirit. Here he has a spirit and a body, it functions like a new model of each of us. He sneezed, and I had the thought –isn’t that incredible to see him have such a normal, natural human trait! God made his body, and his little spirit is housed in that body, and he is the product of his parents who love each other and brought him into this life. How delicate and marvelous that is to be blessed with two wonderful parents who love him and his siblings…GOD’s hand is definitely in our lives. We take it for granted of what is all around us at that same hand in ALL of our lives.

We wake up to a new day which God made happen, the Sun shines and brightens a beautiful blue sky, with puffs of clouds that bring rain, and gave us trees and flowers to admire his creation everywhere we look. We eat, and have have food that he created, right? Then there are the pets we feed and care for too. We have things to do, and we use our bodies that walk, and eat, we digest our food, all because of the creation God made for us to DO that which we overlook that is part of the divine creation of our habitation in a physical body. We are part of that creation each day and moment we breathe in the Air he allow us to have to survive. And think about the Water we drink too that God made for us that help keep our bodies functioning properly.We cannot survive without either one.

Then night falls, the Moon and Stars come out and grace our good Earth with a time to rest and sleep. We sleep,our bodies renew with that sleep and we repeat that cycle all over again. Then, depending where we live, we have the four seasons, and the weather too.

We just finished reading the Pearl of Great Price, and as I read to Ron aloud (albeit in Spanish)as he drove. I saw and felt the purpose of the days created from the first day through the seventh when all of these above creations were organized for us to live in this world.

My eyes of understanding felt the depth of what we have with us to constantly remind us how much God IS a part of our lives and how easy it is to overlook the meaning as it applies to us and permeates everything we do and ARE and what we can become through time and eternity.

I Know that God is there; He lives and is high in the heavens, in Kolob and I feel such gratitude for his great love for us, his children. He knows I am awake at this very moment and writing this all down as I woke up without being able to go back to sleep. How amazing that is to know what I know and appreciate that I am his daughter too. I know I am loved, and have such peace with that awareness.
