Morning Dew

I know these are simple things, but looking at each drop of dew makes me so thankful for all that the Lord has given me. I am so thankful for his plan of happiness and for all he does to help us through that plan. Even when we are down and don't know what to do next in our lives, he gave us simple drops of dew to look at that makes us smile a little more that day. I know that we have a living prophet to teach us and direct us in the way we need to. I am thankful for the Book of Mormon that also leads and guides us through this life. I know we are not perfect and we have our downfalls but he is always there to comfort and pick us back up. I was reading the other day in 1Nephi 19:6;9, and this is what it reads... 6 Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates save it be that I think it be sacred. And now, if I do err, even did they err of old; not that I would excuse myself because of other men, but because of the weakness which is in me, according to the flesh, I would excuse myself. 9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men. Then it hit me... we complain way to much... so what if your day didn't go as well as you wanted it to go... he suffered long and hard because of the great love he had for us. So what if the waiter didn't bring you the your food or drink or check in a quick manner... he suffered because of his loving kindness towards us. So what if you didn't get time by yourself(which is something I am very guilty of complaining about the past few weeks)... he suffered because of his loving kindness towards us. Maybe we can all take a few more seconds to think of other people before we think of ourselves. The Lord was always thinking of others never thinking of himself. Wanting always what was the best thing for us... not the best thing for him. HE SUFFERED BECAUSE HE LOVED US SO MUCH. After reading those few verses I knew that life was way to short to go through it upset at someone for something they did that made us change our plans, or made it so we didn't get what we wanted.
