"John."
"Yeah wewll, I don't know. Oh yeah!! . . ."
"We did 400 gawens."
"uh huh"
"oh, and I ate the best raspberries today! After I ate them I got on my pwasma car and they made me go wike [like] vroom vroom! I was soooo hyper!"
This is John's conversation with Grandma. The 4oo gallons part is a little exaggerated . . . but today we bottled 32 quarts of grape juice!!! Yum. I was listenting to John talk on the phone while I did the dishes. He just didn't know it. :) Can I just tell you how much I "wove" him?
Well, not really. Some things just can't be put into words.
In fact, many things can't be put into words.
For instance.
How do you explain to your friend that you are grateful she hasn't ever given up on you? Because no matter how many times you go to the library to study instead of eat lunch by her she still loves you.
How do you express your love for your dad who basically gives every ounce of energy he has, every single day, for you?
How do you tell your mother she is your hero? How do you put into words the gratitude you have for her unselfish, completely willing, and unquestionably unconditional love for you?
How do you thank your Saviour for everything? How do you tell Him that if it weren't for Him, you'd have failed your test, missesd early morning seminary, and wouldn't know what to do with your life?
The only answer I have is to serve them.
Because really, actions speak louder than words.
And you don't have to talk to give someone a hug or clean up the kitchen or read your scriptures.
I think a lot of the times we feel the Saviour's love and feel the Holy Ghost's comfort because words are said and sometimes forgotten. But feelings . . . I remember how I feel when the Saviour has been there for me. I remember how I feel when people are kind to me.
"You must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right." Doctrine & Covenants 9:8
"I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart." Doctrine & Covenants 8:2
"I feel my Saviour's love in all the world around me. His spirit warms my soul through everything I see. He knows I will follow Him; give all my life to Him. I feel my Saviours love; the love He freely gives me."
Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful sabbath tomorrow!
Love,
Sunshine
