Soooo - today has been very, very long. I taught a new girl simply accounting this morning and then I had to work on an account that belongs to a wonderful couple who have had their books done by someone this year. That someone made a complete mess. I am trying to get them straight. They were suppose to be done for yesterday and even though I worked all day at them I still didn't get them done.
Dad bought one of those new direction talker things. They tell you where to go, well not quite like that. They help you find direction. He is all excited about this. When he hooked it up to the car he came in with a big smile and asked me if I would go for a drive with him. I said okay as long as it included ice cream. We drove with this thing going in2 meters turn a right then another right. In 5 meters turn left. It is a man's voice and it could drive you a little crazy. I was thinking that I would like to have one of these hooked up to heaven. It would be so nice to be reminded when we have taken the wrong direction. Golly - could this be what the Holy Ghost actually does for us. I think so. They have patterned the GPS after the Holy Ghost. How awesome. We did finish the drive and I did get ice cream - not my usual toffee nut crunch but I actually got bubblegum. That's going outside my litte box.
I am trying to think when I want to have a few days off. I need to refresh and take back some of my life. I have given it all to accounting for so long that I have a hard time finding it. Work has not mentioned anything about having Fridays off for the summer. Maybe they will next week. I sure hope so. I have worked so very hard for them.
My heart is saddened by those who are close to me having to fight challenges and heartbreak. I "know" those feelings and I know that doubt, despair, judgement and unhappiness can be tools of Satan. I have a dear friend who was just told that she has cancer and it is in the agressive stages. I have a daughter that we have "adopted" and she has lost her little boy. He was premature and was only here for a few days. Another dear family just lost their mom to cancer. Another very special kid who we have know forever has gotten neck deep and further into gambling and other stuff. I could go on an on. But I need to, for myself and for these special people express my feelings that there is a way to help them get through it. They have to lay their challenges, etc., at the feel of the Saviour. It is have to see past your nose when it is your trial or challenge. We can all see what someone else should be doing to make things better for themselves. I want to challenge everyone who will read this, well perhaps every two, to just have faith and trust in the Lord. Take that first "meaningful" step towards recognizing what you have to do to be able to hear the still small voice. Perhaps we think, when we are overburdened, we can't talk with our Heavenly Father. Just get on your knees and let Him know you want to hear him. Just wait for thise feelings of love to come from Him. Recognize them and the react to the. There will always be things that happen in our lives that we can say "why" me Lord. Perhaps we should have the strength to be able to say why not me. Let us learn our lessons wll so we will bw able to help others in their time of need. AND REMEMBER - time must go one. It it seems like people are pulling away to continue with their lives, and you are still back there with your feelings and heartbreak. At so point in time - TIME WILL GO ONE. The question will be are you going be ready for it to do so.
I love my Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ. I love the plan of happiness knowing why and where helps me to be more positive in my dealings with people. I pray that I can be more kind and loving, more open to the feelings of others. I pray that the feeling I have on the inside about many things can come out when they are needed and they can help people, especially those I love. I love all of my family. I love my eternal sweetheart and I am so very grateful for his strength and guidance. For his acceptance of me and my many many shortcomings.
Take care and if you want anything answered or talked about, just let me know. Have a good evening and an even better tomorrow.
