Have you ever been amongst superb people?!
Are there people who you feel uplifted by, and people you love being around?
Have you had people who have ever taught you?
Superb people are NOT perfect people, but are real people allowing lessons to be learned, hard moments to be had, and letting the sun to always come up again.
First I thought of my parents. My eternal companion. My siblings. My family. Dear friends & People I meet but have a familiar feeling to them...as if I have known them forever.
My mom sacrificing all she knows in teaching skills, love for life, adventure, and a love for creating.
My dad sacrificing all his energy and time to providing material things, but also experiences. Teaching values and morals through every day life lessons.
-- Mosiah 2:19-21 --
"...I whom ye call your king, who has spent his days in your service, and yet has been in the service of God, do merit any thanks from you, O how you ought to thank your heavenly King! ... render ALL the thanks and praise which your whole soul has POWER to possess, to that God who has created you, and has KEPT and PRESERVED you, and has caused that ye should rejoice ... serve him who has created YOU from the beginning, and is PRESERVING you from day to day, by LENDING you breath, that ye may LIVE and MOVE and DO according to your own will ... even SUPPORTING you from one moment to another."
I then started thinking of ALL the people I have ever met who have changed me throughout my life.
School friends, best friends, deep conversations, standing in holy places ... finding SO many kindred spirits.
I realize that God has ALLOWED me to be here. To be HERE at this time. He has given me this time NOW to be alive! He LENDS me breath every day, each moment ... and He now has filled my life with STELLAR people to gain wisdom from for a little while yet.
These people DO fill my life, because they need constant care, love, washing, lotioning, feeding, kind words, adventures, etc.
However, these people serve me. They fill my life with light and are examples to me; they teach me of learning, loving, and forgiving.
These SUPERB humans are my three tiny children, having THE biggest hearts, and the MOST helpful souls! Slobbery kisses and suuuuper tight hugs!
My Husband. He sees me grow, sees the mistakes I make, and watches me turn 25 as he remembers what it was like for him at that age... he understands. He too is living this path we call mortality.
I have loved so many dear friends, mentors I have learned from and looked up to, people I gain knowledge from, and others I can aspire to to be. I also have a loving Savior who I will always remember and work on emulating continually...
I owe ALL my gratitude to my Heavenly Father.
People we randomly meet have the ability to bless our lives, in MANY different ways serve us. People we live with day-in and day-out ALSO have that ability--the ability to serve, uplift, and strengthen.
THAT, above is something I need to remember always!
In both situations, by happen-stance or through a family setting God is good. As we strive to DO GOOD & SERVE HIM with our WHOLE souls He will continue to place each person where they need to be.
"...When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are ONLY in the service of your GOD."
-Mosiah 2:17
