This Beautiful World

With all the turmoil that is going on in the world today

one can become very discouraged and worried.

I certainly have my times of great concern, and anxiety

over events that happen.

I have reflected upon the great blessings 

I receive each day, rather than seeing the world

in such turmoil I stop and view the world

and see all the wonders and beauties.

I know my Heavenly Father loves me

And He loves all his children.

We are more alike than we are different.

I feel honored and blessed that I live at this time

here on earth. . 

 This past week end I had the opportunity to sing in my

Stake Choir, for our semi-annual Stake Conference.

(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

The title of the song is 

My Heavenly Father Loves Me

Words and music: Clara W. McMaster

 Several phrases and lines touched my heart deeply.

He gave me my eyes that I might see

He gave the gift of touch.

That I might feel.

He gave me the ability to "feel"

with my heart.

He gave my ears that I might  hear

The magical sound of things.

He gave 

me my life, 

my mind, 

my heart

I thank him reverently

For all his creations, 

of which I’m a part.

We all live on this beautiful planet called earth.

We are part of His Garden. . . with its many colors.

and much diversity. 

I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world

Heavenly Father created for me.

I will be joining
