SEARCHING FOR BALANCE

Searching for balance in this life is like trying to stay in one place on the deck of a ship that is being tossed to and fro in a violent storm. When you think you have gained your balance, the storm throws you in a direction you were not anticipating. Then when you have gained some sense of control, you are drenched by a wave of cold, salty sea water that only further inhibits your ability to regain your footing.
BUT, even amidst all of the tumultuous weather there is a knowledge that a supreme being is watching over you and providing you with the safety necessary o weather the storm. Not only that but He has provided you a way to be healed by the Gift of His son's suffering. Then to top it off, He provides those that follow Him the gift of the Holy Ghost; a constant companion to those who are humble and follow the Savior.
There are so many gifts that our God provides us, so many of which we hardly can explain why He would bestow us with such great gifts. I know that he loves all of us, each of us with a special kind of love that is individual and specific to us as His children. Let's remember that when we find ourselves in the most violent of storms. Someday we will find ourselves standing firm in whatever weather that comes our way. Standing firm because of the new level of trust that we place in the Master's Hand.
The book that is shown in this post is amazing. It talks about how we must maintain balance. Stephen R. Covey counsels us that the center of our lives must be God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. As we maintain our focus on them we will be directed in the ways that they would have us go and ultimately return to their presence to receive Eternal Life.
