I don’t know about you.... but it’s funny to me how life sends one in full circle... you start here.... go there... and end up back where you started... like the riddle what has four feet in the morning two in the evening and three at night? A human... because when we are born we are on all fours - then we learn to walk and we are on two feet... then as we get older we need help to move and use a cane. I have lived long enough to see how the circle of life truly is a circle. We choose our path....every choice we make leads somewhere... the adventures or lack there of are up to us... but eventually we all end up in the same place...
last night as I was reading my scriptures and I had a realization that prayers are so amazingly powerful. All these years with Addison in and out of the hospital - surgery after surgery... death bed after death bed.....those prayers have brought solace to my deeply needy soul. The prayers given by long lasting friends...the prayers given by loving family members...the prayers given sometimes by complete strangers....because someone told them my daughter needed a prayer.... the prayers that as soon as they were uttered brought instant change... and sometimes just brought strength to better deal with the surmounting pain. I have looked back on my life and I have seen the POWER of prayer unto deliverance...even if I wasn’t freed from the torment I was no longer held bound by fear and doubt. There is so much to be said about prayer. So much power that I can’t deny it’s deliverance. Like a father who prayed for a son to change ... “And now behold can he dispute the power of God??”Alma 27:15.    I can not- nor would I want to.
Like the rainbow that shines after every storm. HE is always there.
