It's not Ebola
What happens when a person you love whether it being family or just a beloved friend comes out to be gay? theres a bunch of reasons to be sad and to not know what to do in these cases. But the last thing you want to do is turn them away and cut them off from your love. That would just make it worse. Don't you think? imagine if you were in a family of football fans for this one specific team (and this is the best metaphor i could come up with) and you decided to come out and say they have decided to go for the opposing team. Now this is way not explaining it perfectly but, we have to realize that it must have taken an immense amount of courage to go against all they have been taught. And to go against what the family and everything normal. As a parent it must be scary and its like what have i done wrong? did i not teach well enough the ways of the lord? We must be able to remember that Heavenly Father loved and still loves all of us no matter the sins. and you love your children. Your family, siblings, good friends, why would you leave them in their great time of need? Love them. I implore you all. Its not just with things like this. in all the days of our lives we were commanded to love as he does. Why should it be different for anybody else? Show the life giving love they need. Sometimes thats what we all need.
Honestly speaking, when you are stressful, things get pretty negative right? It's hard enough for you, but when your spouse or someone you love is close enought to where it rubs off on them, it gets even worse. Not only is the situation stressful but now it is doubled inside having brought in another customer to the contention hot line. Step back, please for them and take a breath. Your stress wether or not it's personal does not need to be fixed in someone else's heart. Breathe and remind yourself that it's going to be ok. Trust in each other and do not find reasons to contend with one another based off your stressed feelings of frustration and anger. You love them and therefore, because of that love, you learn to see past your own frustration, negativity and annoyance to see if maybe you are blinded in it what really matters. I love you sweetie. When in doubt, eggnog, jellybeans and cheesy 80s movies will settle these affairs. Change to desired de-stressors and hold each other tight. It's going to be ok. When thou shall study in the book of Isaiah, thy head shall swirl and take to thy bed confused deeply what the heck all these metaphors mean. Therefore, she lamented deep into the night on wether or not that Isaiah was talking about Poseidon in chapter 23... how to test the level of patience: slow, and touchy technology. with moody wifi.

Watch as this young boy has so much faith and gratitude even through all his trials. What do we have to be grateful? how long of a list can you come up with? have you looked over your life and no matter what trials happened to you or your loved ones you can still be greatful? how long does it take to thank him? to praise him? to do good, to do service, to pay tithing, to go to the temple. Hug your mom. your dad. brother sister, friend. say i love you. love so much. look around you. you can literally look at a leaf on the ground and find the Saviors love. see the intricate veins, the different colors. feel the wind on your face. take in every moment to look around. watch these moments go by. savor them and hold them precious. I love my Savior and redeemer. He has given me so much. sometimes i dont even realize it. My family, the air in my lungs, the roof over my head, there is so much to be greatful for. What are some things you notice that you're greatful for?
lately, we have been noticing a trend in todays family concerning children, marriage and other things. But honestly I thought that now a days birthrate would go up right? but apparently not. In 2012 there were 3,952,841 births and the birthrate is 12.6 per 1,000 population. in other words, in the last couple of years, thats kinda low yes? what does that mean to you? what do you think the reasons are? |
