Everyday Angels

I am constantly amazed at the wondrous ways the Lord works in our lives and how He blesses us with angels here on Earth. I have learned that angels come in many forms and many times they come and don't even realize they are being an angel in my life. Many times they come when I don't even know I am needing them.  They come as friends, neighbors, family members, even strangers. And now with the technology we have, they come as bloggers, Pinterest posts, Facebook statuses and many other ways. I am grateful each and every time I am so blessed by one of these many angels.

Recently I was playing in the wonderful world of blogs and came across this talk by President Benson.  (I am not going to say too much on it, just please go read it for yourself, it really is a powerful talk) I have heard/read pieces of it like...

"When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place..."

but never knew its source. This talk really struck a chord with me. It's time for me to put the Lord first in my life. All my decisions and actions need to be based on my love for him. I am sure that if I do this, as President Benson said,

"...God’s pay is the best pay that this world or any other world knows anything about. And it comes in full abundance only to those who love the Lord and put Him first."

I know that my life will be extremely blessed if I just put the Lord and his will first and foremost in my life. Yes, I will still have trials and heartbreak but with the Lord on and by my side, I will be able to have the strength to get through anything.  I can have His comfort and love in my life every step of the way if I will just reach out and ask for it.  I know that each and every one of us can have these blessings in our lives.  They are there for the taking, we just need to do our part and reach out.

P.S. If you want to hear an extremely beautiful and powerful song, go here.  Make sure you watch the video clip too.  I love Hilary Weeks!
