I love to blog, its like emotional chemotherapy for me. Today I want to discuss true meaning. I realized an important precept for my marriage. That too often we let the most ridiculous things distract us from happiness and eternity. I noticed this especially Monday night. Ry and I had been snipping at each other all night. Ok I'll admit it I was being snippy and my husband was being well clueless like always. And we were fussing about cleaning the house or something nonsensical like that. Then the Spirit touched me and was like "Go for a walk." While on this walk my husband and I reconnected we talked like we can't talk with the Wii or the TV or the radio going. It reminded me how much I enjoy his company and how much I let the true meaning of my life get overshadowed by things that have no eternal importance.
I can apply this to my spiritual journey as well. Too often I let things such as the amusing story on the Internet or the great book I picked up at the library prevent me from feasting on the work of the Lord. I love my Heavenly Father and I want to learn more about him and his gospel. I too often let the non eternal things endanger the eternal. I'm going to make the goal of being more concerned with things of an eternal nature.
I am so grateful that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Since my conversion in 2002 I have been blessed beyond compare. I have been provided with true meaning, with my true purpose. I strive to be more grateful of the Atonement of Jesus Christ as well as the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I know that I have done the right thing. I know this church is true.
