sunday thoughts

i found this in my church bag today as i was cleaning it out, and figured i would write it down here so the paper clutter is lessened.  this was that one sunday back in january when i finally realized that i needed to go to church for the whole time, and to really try to better myself (ha... ironic considering i didn't today... progress is being made though, and my husband really needed me!).  here is what i wrote down, as tears streamed down my face:

"As simple as Mary's recognition of the Lord, when He called her by name, I know He was speaking to me.  Not with words; just an overwhelming feeling that, if put into words, said "I am here.  I am extending my love to you.  Please come home."

i just want to share with you all how grateful i am for my Savior and that i do know He is there for all of us, in the good times and the bad.  and He always, ALWAYS, loves us, even when we do the most stupid things.  i can't comprehend His love fully, but i do know it and feel it, some days stronger than others.  as a soon-to-be-mom, i am coming to understand it somewhat better.  and i know that when little aaron gets here, i will understand it even better.  but i don't think any of us can ever fully understand it, not here at least.  maybe in the next life, or the life after that...  i don't know, i just know that HE IS HERE, waiting for us to come back to Him.  and if we already are, like i feel maybe i am today, He is STILL here, and still loving me through my mistakes and shortcomings, gently leading me to the right choices.

happy sunday all :)
