Love in Light

Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.
So, there is really not any one single person physically on this earth in particular who has gotten me though the most. Chat with me some time and I could drop half a dozen names of those who have profoundly effected my life in helping me through trials. My memory isn't the most complete historical record keeper in the world either, and I know that there are many occasions that I've been helped that I can't even remember. But, those who have answered my all of my crazy midnight phone calls, sat with me when I've cried, held me through a panic attack, have had patience with me when I couldn't articulate my thoughts or feelings, have let me crash on their couch, or in their bed, or who have given me a bedtime... I hope they know who they are, because, even though I can't really tally up those difficult times, I know they helped me when I needed it most.
I also know that no matter what challenge I have ever faced, the reason I was able to get through it was because of love. Dark is always a term used when describing difficult times, and love brings light into life during the hardest moments. Everyone has the Light of Christ inside them, and I believe that that light gives us a power to put love in motion, and share it with those around us.
It's kind of amazing to think about because my personal love languages are touch and quality time. Sometimes it can be difficult for me to remember Heavenly Father's love, because my brain doesn't always comprehend that someone doesn't always have to be physically there to hear you (you'd think phones would help with that right?)... anyway, I'm just reminded every single day of His love through the Light of Christ in those around me.
Jesus Christ has gotten me through the most in my life. The truthfulness and reality of His love, His Atonement, His power, are testified to me every day in those around me... everyday He helps me.


God is great, life is good, and people are crazy.
The Church is true!
Keep spreading love.
