Tonight we watched 17 Miracles. It is a movie we all enjoy and certainly appropriate for the Sabbath day. Jack was pretty emotional afterwards, for quite some time actually. He really enjoyed it and felt the spirit. He is pretty sensitive to things of the spirit. Natty and Andy enjoyed the movie as well but they were not quite as emotional about it as Jack. Certainly the movie helps us to gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for the pioneers and what they suffered whilst crossing the plains. It was good to watch together with the kids.
I can't help but look back on my own life and recognize moments when miracles have taken place. Some are quite simple while others can be a little bigger. Sister Bobbi Lake showing up at my door and helping my family, doing a 180 on the I75 at 75 mph and coming out unscathed, a simple warning to slow down and having a car run a stop sign right in front of me, Natalie, Jackson, Andy. I could go on and I could expand on each of these a little more but I will wait on that. Suffice to say there are countless miracles in our lives, countless ways that the Lord tells us or shows us that he loves us.
Well, I am ready to pass out. It has been a fairly full day. I have certainly enjoyed it and the people I got to spend it with.
