Things Aren’t Always As They Seem

Gratefulness

Did I even spell that right?? I have been thinking about this the last couple of days. We are such a blessed little family and I need to be more grateful for the things that we have.
We had the chance to go to church with someone else last week. It was a great experience. The people were friendly and you can tell they are really dedicated to their church. I love it when you can see people that have a passion for their religion whatever that religion might be. I happen to be LDS but most of the people that I grew up around were not. They were great people with great passion.
This experience made me really appreciate my church and all that it has to offer. I know that most people look at the "mormon" church and think that it takes over your life. Well, you are right. It does take over your life. It isn't just a religion that you attend on Sunday and Wed nights. It is a way of life. A way to live and raise your children. It gives you a moral road to follow and hope in the dark times and joy in the good times. I am so happy that I have the chance to live this life.
I do believe that their are other churches for other people. I know some very dedicated people with some lovely beliefs. All I am saying is that for me this one is the right one. I feel safe and secure when I turn my life over to Christ and live the life that I feel correct.
