I was just thinking today about how I let so many little, insignificant things annoy me. Sometimes to the point where I forget to take delight in the Lord. I forget to look around at all the little details, each one showing me how much my God loves me. If I remember to focus on all the many, many delightful things, and not focus on or worry about things that don't matter, my life will be filled with so much more happiness. God is in control, and His plan for me is delightful!
That's funny... I was just pondering delight in my scriptures today, and wrote some stuff about it in the margins. I love that word for thinking about my Savior, and all the things I have been blessed with.
ReplyDeleteWe must have been on the same wavelength today then. I was all mad about the snow, so I decided to make myself feel happier.
