A Glimpse

    I watched this video earlier in the week. 
   It seems apropos that I wrapped up January with this video. In Young Womens, all of our lessons last month were centered around the Godhead. Naturally my thoughts have been center around Heavenly Father and my relationship with him.
Elder Faust, who just happens to be my favorite apostle said (as seen in the video) "Noble Fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine". I have indeed been blessed with many great examples of fathers in my life, all of which have helped me understand my relationship with Heavenly Father a little bit more.
 

Even though I'm somewhat of a responsible adult, I still find great comfort in the support my parents give me. When we had that crazy freezing rain, I was less than confident to drive myself in it and even less than confident to drive with Elanora in the car. At my parents house I was loading her in the car, nervous as all get out, knowing I was responsible to get this beautiful baby home safely. I looked at my dad (as my mom was loading a crock pot of food she had made for Chris and I into the car) and said "Can I do this?" My dads steady eyes locked on mine said "You are a great driver. You can do this, you can do this!" I did. We made it home slowly but surely.
 



Where would I be without this hunky, love of my life? His calm, reliable self brings true peace and happiness in my life. Not too many days ago I was feeling down and out about my lack of ability to produce offspring like a normally functioning woman, when he sent me a text at work that said, "Heavenly Father knows that we make perfect babies and the world can't handle that much perfect too close together. I love you."
Peace, he gives me so much peace.
 
Their love and support pales to that of my Heavenly Father and the love, support, and peace he gives to me. And one day, when the veil is lifted and the memories of the pre-mortal world come flooding back and I get to hug my Heavenly Father, it will be as if I never forgot.
This time on earth is short and sometimes hard. How blessed am I to have a Father to comfort and watch over me, giving me confidence, peace and happiness.
