Father
lolol quote I heard this week:
"Many are called, but few are FROZEN."
Accurate.
The weather in Norway has got me all like:
Oslo Opera House!
Christmas is coming!!!
Hey hey cutie pies!
Sunday was Norway's Father's Day so in honor of that, I am going to share a cool little experience I had studying the other day.
While reading about the love God has for all of us, I looked up through my window and then I thought about the stars and planets. And then out of nowhere a random memory from my childhood came back to mind!
When my brothers and I were small we would lay out on our trampoline and look up at all the stars and I distinctly remember them telling me all about the stars and how each star was a HUGE planet and it was sending light down to us years in the past and all this amazing stuff that my tiny brain tried to imagine, and then I remembered trying to sit and count all of the stars and never being able to do it! (of course).
And then I remember having these little arguments with my dad. One of us would say "I love you more than ALL the stars in the sky." and then the next would say "Well I love you even more than that times a BILLION!" and then the next would top that and we would go on and on. And I sincerely remember MEANING that when I said it. Of course I loved him.
And there were no reasons for that love other than that he was my dad.
Of course after all of these memories I was bawling, but then I thought about that love.
That pure child-like love.
That is the type of love that I sincerely want to have for EVERYONE but especially for my Father in Heaven. I want to love Heavenly Father for simply being my father, not because He pours His blessings upon my life. I have felt that love. I have seen the difference of viewing God as my real FATHER and not just this mythical being who miraculously sends out spontaneous gifts. I hope that everyone can come to understand and then feel this pure child-like love.
There is nothing sweeter.
Also we watched this in district meeting today which went along perfect:
I hope that you are also relishing and loving every single moment that you have in your life. Really sit and LIVE in the moments that you have RIGHT NOW. Life is so much better when you really do that.
I love you all. And I appreciate you.
Klem,
Søster Høtsjings
