Thought of the day

I am, no matter how much I try to deny it, a hopeless romantic. This is one of those things that I think I move past and then realize that no, I don't. I love hearing stories of people finding real, families are forever happiness. I think perhaps one of the greatest tragedies we can encounter is selling ourselves short of what we could be. If, as it says in Moses 1:39, the Lord's work is "bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man", it would make sense that he would provide some guidelines to assist us in reaching his objectives. It would make sense to pray every day to seek some help in being what He wants us to be. Heavenly Father is trying to help us become all that we could be, to be more than we can at this point imagine. He wants to exalt us in families. Eternal families. In the Doctrine and Covenants section 19:10 it says that "Endless" is one of the Lord's names. Wouldn't it make sense then that Eternal Families would be God's family? He promotes marriage! The Lord's glory is to bring about Eternal Life. Doctrine and Covenants section 132 talks about his plan for marriages. I think I need to stop worrying about the future and trust God. I need to work on being all I can be, to prepare all I can, but then to put it in the hands of Heavenly Father. He knows everything. He knows everyone, better than we know ourselves. I heard a quote that I can't remember the source on, but it said "work like everything depends on you. Pray like everything depends on the Lord." Anyhow, those are my thoughts for today.
