Love, one of life's greatest blessings...

So, I have just spent the last hour or so surfing the blog world and catching up on who's pregnant, who is happy, who is sad, and even who is busy and who is not. I realized as I came to the end of my blog surfing, that I have not really stopped to take a look at my own life and see all of the tremendous blessings Father in Heaven has given me. I started thinking about my family, although we are different, and don't presently share the same religious beliefs, we are all growing closer together through love. Then I thought about my job as one of the little ones lay here on my lap asleep, and the love I have for those kids. As I looked at her and pondered over my different friends and the stages of life they're in, I began to think about Frank and the path beginning to be layed out for us as we prepare for our marriage. I couldn't help but think about the overwhelming amount of love I know I will feel for him as we kneel together for the sealing of our marriage for all of time and eternity. I can't begin to comprehend the kind of love the Savior knew as he truly learned to love everyone, even the leper and the liar, the adulterer and the criminal. The most amazing part is that his love for them and the love he had for His disciples were the same. I can only hope that by the end of my earthly stay, I might have learned to be a little bit better at loving people and even things unconditionally just as the Savior did and has instructed that we do.
I have just been blessed today with this little "quiet" time to realize the importance of love and take a look around me and see the numerous blessings in my life through the gift of love!
