I Wish...........


At church Levi has been having a hard time.  He's been having a hard time for several months now.  When he hears or thinks about our Savior Jesus Christ, he starts to cry and is over come with emotion.  He can't handle the thought that people hurt Him and killed him.  We try to explain to Levi that Jesus is alive!  That Jesus is okay!


It still makes him sad........  I wish, that I were more like Levi.  I wish that I loved the Savior as much as Levi does.  It's not to say that I don't love the Savior, it's just, I think Levi has a more personal relationship with Jesus. 

I think, that sometimes our Savior is talked about so much that I don't 'feel'.... I forget that what happened really truly did happen!  A long time ago...... but it happened!  I'm grateful for my Savior and what He did...  without His sacrifice, there would be no point to our living here on earth!  We wouldn't be able to return back home to live with our Father in Heaven......  sometimes though......  even though I know and feel this deeply........  it's almost like a list of facts that rattle off my tongue. Oh yeah.  I know it.  It's true.  Now, where did I leave my car keys!? 

I wish....... that I were more like Levi and not so spiritually handicapped....

    1. I agree! Thank the Lord everyday for Levi. For all of his lessons and silliness and goofiness and his ability to make me smile and think and ponder.

    1. Thank you!! When I was writing it, I couldn't figure out how to say what I was thinking and feeling in my heart and felt I'd made a jumbled mess of it, as usual!

    2. Can't be a mess when you are speaking your heart…

    3. It's hard sometimes to translate what is in my heart into words though... and that is where the muddle puddle comes in. :)

    4. Well, you navigated that muddle puddle beautifully. So beautifully, in fact, that there was no muddle puddle at all.

      Levi has some extraordinary connections. Wonderful young man.

    1. I didn't use to think of it that way Anaise. I wanted 'the miracle'. Until one day my eyes were opened and I realized, duh! It is a gift! He's got it made! It is us that are handicapped!! I do wish though that he didn't have to go through pain....... that part, I'd like a miracle for...
