This transfer has ended and another has begun. I
have the blessed opportunity to stay in Petrópolis with my beautiful
companion Sister Marinho. We have lots of work to do and the energy to
do it!
This past week I have learned a lot about choice.
The choice to be happy. The choice to be obedient. The choice to stay or
go. The choice to follow God´s will or our own.
The
amazing thing is our Heavenly Father gave us a unique gift that no one
can take away. That gift is the gift to choose. Yes there are times when
we don´t get to choose our circumstances, but we can most definately
choose our attitude. I don´t know if any of us fully appreciate this
amazing gift of choice. We are always given countless options each day
in our lives and it is up to us to choose what we think is right.
I have been learning what an amazing gift this is,
the gift to choose. This gift started with Adam and Eve when they chose
to eat of the forbidden fruit. They were given the ability to choose by
God and they choose. Each person on this planet has the opportunity to
choose everyday. Choose good or choose evil. Choose happiness or
saddness. Choose to be happy or to be sad.
Often these choices are hard to make. The right
choice is usually even harder. At times the choice to be happy is harder
than the choice to be sad. The choice to endure is harder than the
choice to give up. But we are given trials so that we can learn to
choose. Not only that we are given trials so that we can learn to choose
the right things.
God gave us Trials that we might choose! Isn´t that
so amazing. As crazy as it sounds He wants us to learn and grow in this
life and the only way that will happen is if we make our own decisions
based on correct prinicples. He is teaching us by guiding and giving us
choices to make everyday!
I love this talk by Richard G. Scott. He includes points on choosing to be happy and at peace in this life!
Remember the Lord loves you and He gave you agency to Choose right from wrong!
Love
Sister Nay
