"We need to be more grateful. It's one of the marks of strong character, to have a feeling of thanksgiving and gratitude for blessings that are ours. We need more of that spirit in our homes, in our daily associations, in church, everywhere. It's so easy to cultivate the spirit of appreciation." -Ezra Taft Benson

Humpty Dumpty

Hi! How are you doing today?  Me?  I'm doing quite well, thank you.  I just wanted to share something that I was thinking about today.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings horses and all the kings men
couldn't put humpty together again.


..... but the King could.


Sometimes in life we have great falls, sometimes we get really hurt emotionally or spiritually.  And sometimes no one can put us back together again.  No one can pick up ALL the pieces and make it okay.  Sometimes no one can make us smile a genuine smile or genuinely laugh.  Sometimes no one else can make us see ourselves as we are.  Most times, no one can heal us.  And no one can get us entirely back on track in life. 

But there is one who can.  Our Heavenly King will help pick us up when we fall, he'll dust us off and help to bandage our wounded souls.  I say bandage and not heal because sometimes we need to hurt a little bit to help us to grow stronger.  He wont always just heal us because it is for our good to heal with time.  However he will it make it entirely okay with his Plan of Happiness.  He can show us who we really are, and what our real worth is.  And it is only with His help that we are able to get our lives back on track (I can fully testify of this).  God is the only one who will EVER be able to put us completely back together again.  His men and horses can still try, but most times they need the help of the King to completely heal the souls and hearts of those who fall.
