The hand of God

So I decided to write briefly tonight about how I have seen the hand of God in my life today. First is just that waking up every morning next to my wife is a testament to God working in my life. I was living in Orem and she was living in Layton at the time we met.  I don't believe in the whole soulmate philosophy but I do believe that God puts people in our paths that will bless our lives and Amber is surely one of those people for me. I can't imagine being with anyone that would make me any happier than she does. She is beautiful in every sense of the term.

The next thing is to look at my kids. To think that God trusted me with the power to assist in creating a life is just incredible to me.  I feel very blessed every day to be able to be with them and enjoy their special spirits.  They bring more joy to my life than I ever could have imagined.

I also see His hand in my life at work every day. It is certainly a privilege to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ every day to groups of youth. I am continually impressed by their faith and dedication to The Lord. The little opportunities to get to know them better each day and to see a glimpse into their life and feel of their faith is truly a blessing that could only come from God.

I also felt His hand today as I studied the scriptures. I saw and felt that His hand was there in the writing of the words and also in helping me understand them. They are truly the words of God and have blessed my life more than I can express.  His hand is over us all!
