{Thanks Giving}



{3} My Savior

As I came across this video I was reminded of how truly grateful I am for my savior. I am reminded of the time when my dad was in ICU for six weeks and I put the worries of the world aside and drew closer to my Savior and the things that were most important - my realtionships with my family and friends and those I love and my relationship with my Savior. I can testify to you that without a shadow of a doubt that he is real. There have been many times that I have felt his loving arms around me. The morning that my Dad passed to the other side. The veil between Heaven and Earth was so thin and I could feel his presence and I could hear him say "It will be okay"
Words simply cannot express that gratitude that fills my heart knowing that we have an older brother and Savior who loves us more than we can comprehend. I will be forever grateful for his atonement. Because I know that no matter how far off the path I may wander he is patiently waiting for me to come back. I know that he knows of every single struggle i go through. Every pain I feel. And I know that he knows that joy that often fills my heart. He knows me and he knows you. He knows we are not perfect. But he was sent before us to help show us the way. Each day if I stop for moment I can see the Saviors hand in my life. Right now I am reading a book by Emily Freeman titles "21 Days Closer To Christ" It is a journey that will help to strengthen my personal relationship with the Savior. It has been said that the only way we can really know another person is to "Walk in his shoes . . . think what he would think . . . learn what he knows . . . say what he would say . . . and do what he would do . . "
I hope that as I live my life I might try to my pattern my life a little closer to his. I might serve and help others and show true Christ like love in all that I say and do.

I can only imagine


What it will be like
When I walk
By Your side
I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me
 
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
 
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing with the Son
I can only imagine

When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship with You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine...
I can only imagine

When all I will do

Is forever, forever worship with You
I can only imagine...
