His touch can heal all.

The other day I read the familiar story of Christ healing the blind man found in John chapter 9. I began to think how amazing it is that this man who once could not see now could. I began to think how this story could relate to my life. 
As we see, when Christ was out with His disciples they came to a man who was blind.They asked if this man had sinned, or his parents, to cause this man to be born blind? Christ answered their question when he said, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him." 
Then Christ put clay on his eyes and told him to go and wash in a pool of water. And as he did it says "He...washed, and came seeing. " 
As we take this lesson into our lives, we see that as we go through trials and hard times it is not because we have done something wrong, but that the Lord help us become the type of  person He knows we can be. Trials that happen in our lives are there to help us and others come closer to Christ. But when we start to think "why me?" or " why must I go through this?",  that is when we need to turn to Christ and ask him to touch our eyes. He may anointed our eyes with the clay (humility), and ask us to go and wash (cleans ourselves in the atonement). 
As we see in this video of the trials Joseph Smith that great things came from him enduring. 

As we learn to look at our trials as chances to grow we can benefit more then ever. I know that trials are never fun, but they are the way we can become stronger and grow closer to Christ. :) 

The women in our lives. :)

With Christmas around I can not help but think about the love of the savior that I felt thought in all my past Christmases. I see now as I have begone to grow that the spirit of the savior always shown though my mother! Though I was young and stubborn someday,  she always made the best Christmas. Just with that thought I wanted to give a shout to my mother and along with all the other women and say thank you for keeping the spirit of Christ in this season. But to many times the world tries to diminish  the role of womanhood. Please always stay strong! Please always stand for what is right. Just as we see the love Mary had for the savior , we can see in our own lives just how amazing women are!

So Check out this clip on how amazing women are!

And when times get hard this turn to the Lord. Check out this video.

Thank you all the women in my lives and all of you around this world! You truly do help show the Lord's spirit     though your action. Thank you.
