Is it still wonderful to you?

Looking authentic!

Ummmm Police?!!!
 

I was looking through some previous notes from my scripture study this week and came across my notes from when the piano guys came to perform last November.

One of the things I remember that really hit me was when they talked about this

scripture in Matthew. "He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

I always liked that scripture, but something I really enjoyed was their statement after reading this passage. "The greatest health plan ever invented.  Relying on our Heavenly

Father and really giving our all to serving Him and our Savior will, in thee do, cause us

to be the healthiest spiritually and physically than we could ever achieve alone.”

 

Something I really liked after that statement was another quote given the one guy who plays the cello... I don't know their names... But he said,

"Life is too meaningful to believe in meaningfulness."

I thought a lot about this scripture this morning and how my life will be after my mission. I was a little scared because when I look out my window early in the morning here in Leipzig, I see the same cars driving by, the same people walking into the train station, and the same lady announcing what trains will be coming in the next platform. I was thinking about my life as a missionary and how exciting and different each day is and how each day is filled with new people and new adventures. I started to fear that when I come home I will live a boring life. Haha!

 

But I really liked this quote and it helped me to remember that really everyday there is something to live for. Every day our Heavenly Father sends us blessings.

We really do have a reason to be excited to wake up every day, even if we have things in

our life that become routine. Life and the gospel can still be exciting.

 

I love that talk called "Is It Still Wonderful to You?" https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2015/04/is-it-still-wonderful-to- you?lang=eng

I think sometimes we all need to take a step back and really be in awe of the gospel, how meaningful our life is and how our trust in God is really the best health plan invented.
