The Sky is Blue

Today as I look out the window the sky is clear blue with white mountain peaks above the valley. The week past has been full of thoughts of family and friends. The warmth of kinship of all kinds is what makes life full. The love of our Savior is the highlight of the whole season. Often we get so caught up in the grit of life we don't take time to see the gleam of life. Life is really quite simple--we do the best we can with what we have. When problems come, as they always do, we need to keep the eternal perspective in view. By looking at things the way our Heavenly Father looks at them we can know we have His help in all we do. We don't really accomplish things on our own. We just muddle along until we either miss the mark or stumble on the plan He had all along. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could remember to ask His help before we mess up rather than ask Him to rescue us after?
