2010...The most important lesson

You know, I've been thinking about this year of 2010, and what have I learned from all the trials and from the good and the bad experiences.
I'll tell you that, God has really thought me some very important lessons about  FREE AGENCY and many other gifts.
I learned that we do have the free will to choose.. man! Is kinda hard to talk about this for me, because, the Lord showed me in a very sacred way the value of free will. I'll just let you know this, FREE WILL it's an amazing, wonderful gift! And I'm so greateful, very greateful to have and to know how important it is. But there is a limit, there is a moment were God has to step in and make the final choice for you, and is at that point, were your free will don't really matter, you have to live with the consequence of that choice, being that choice good or bad (O be wise: what can I say?- Jacob 6-12).
That's all I can say... be wise.
This year I learned to loose the FEAR OF DEATH. Loosing those who I loved so dearly, and even mourning for those who lost someone that I haven't even met, help me to grow the desired in my heart to be READY when my time comes.
To deal with so many deaths this year, has showed me that it is real, and it does come to everybody and everyone, specially to those close to us... even me. And it can come in the most unexpected way. That's why we have to LIVE our lives, and not just survived.
This year I've learned that GOD's will is more important than anything. He is the wisest of the wisest, and no matter how much we want something, His final decision is the most important... BECAUSE HE KNOWS BETTER! And I have a testimony of that.
This year I learned that God never, never leaves us alone, He is always there, right by our side.
This year I had to learned to reconized when He was with me, I had to learn to read His little daily love notes to me saying "Good morning child! I'm here". He helped me to open my eyes to see Him in my husband's beautiful eyes, in my children's laugh, in a friend's smile, in a beautiful sunny day, in a very storming night (I love the rain!), in a very cloudy day, in the blowing wind, in a bird flying in the sky, in the air I breathe, in the beat of my love's heart... He show me all this by saying "you see child, I'm everywhere. Anytime you need me, I'm here. And all you need to do, is open your eyes to see Me right in front of you". He's is there even when there's nothing to see, even, if I was locked in a completely empty and dark room, He would still be there inside me, in the beating of my heart, in every breath that I take.
I've learned this year, that when I feel tormented, stressed or distracted, and one of my children comes to me asking for something like a glass of water, milk, or for some atention, so I got that as God saying "look at me child, I'm just reminding you, I'm right here" (Suffer the little children to come unto me, because theirs is the kingdom of God).
I've learned this year, what great gift is to have a fisical body. But on top of that, I learned that my body don't make me who I truely Am. It's funny how i didn't really get these things before. We learned over and over again in church about the importance of your spirit well being. But then, satan step's right in makes you forget all, by tell you "your body makes you who you are". And today I looked at my body and thought to my self "man! no matter how hard I try to keep my self looking young, when we are all going to have the same destiny... we are all going to die and leave this body on the earth for while...".
 Look at your hand right now, come on, look! Open and close her. Don't you see? That's is not just your body or your brain doing it... IT'S YOUR SPIRIT! Think about it! You did not have a body before, and now, you have this wonderful gift that you can control, that you can feel, smell, speak, blink, see, taste,  breath... just feel it for a moment... relax, let your spirit enjoy this now... your true self... your celestial self... :) That's who you are... you are celestial... a child of God.
Please, don't look at imperfections right now, just be greateful, just live this moment, let your spirit be joyful about this wonderful gift. And to think that two of us, a Man and a Woman together they carry the ingredients that God uses to create more bodies, holy temples, houses for others spirits who will have this same privilege... it's all a beautiful miracle! This is the perfect word to describe... BEAUTIFUL!
Another very important lesson learned in 2010 is always BE GREATEFUL! Not just in words, but by actions too. I learned that a greatful person keeps a very positive atitude about things. And I had to learned that in a very hard way, but I did get the message ;0)
And the final lesson (for now, because I know I have a lot a lot to learn still), TRUST IN GOD WITH ALL THY HEART MIND AND SOUL! That's a testimony I have very strong is DO NOT QUESTION, DO NOT ASK WHY, BUT WHEN GOD ALLOW SOMETHING TO HAPPEN IT'S BECAUSE HE KNOWS BETTER!!!
I am witness of our Father in Heaven's power. I trust Him will all my heart, even when things seems so dificult and hopeless, I know is for our own good. LET THY WILL BE DONE LORD! I don't know how many times I had to do that this year, but I tell you something, everytime I did, things turned around ok, even more than ok. And there is not such a thing as "hopeless", as long as the Savior of the world lives, there will be hope, because Jesus Christ is hope in the form of a person, and He will live forever, and so will hope.
I leave this testemony with all of you for 2010:
God and Jesus Christ live! And their love for us is infinite! And to trust in God is the greatest gift that someone can seek for. And gratitude can bring peace and happiness to someone's heart.
And don't forget " You are a spirit being having human experiences".
In The name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
