I really enjoyed today's reading. It has been difficult lately. The kids have been waking up really early. Usually Lizzie wakes everyone up. I have only been able to read at night. It seems if they are awake before me, then things just get busy and crazy and I can't sit down for a second. Right now they are watching a movie (I don't like them watching very much so this will not become the routine!) But I did get a chance to read a little, but not write down my thoughts.
Sometimes as I read, I feel like there are so many things to work on. Today as I read, I felt almost comforted with feeling a little overwhelmed. I have a lot of things I am trying to do. I also like to do things very well and not just do them. Today Christ has compassion on the people and when all the people follow Him, he performs the miracle of the five loaves and two fishes. Probably many people have thought of the lesson Jesus is trying to teach here when He performs this miracle. Scripture Scouts has a fun song and I really think it teaches some thing well. Whatever we have is enough for the Lord. We give Him our will and trust in Him and He will help us do the things He has asked us to do. After He performs that miracle, we read the story about Jesus walking on the water and Peter walking as well. Another story to help us trust completely on the Lord. It is also reassuring to see even Peter, an incredible prophet, doubted and didn't trust the Lord completely. We don't have to be perfect, but we should trust in the Lord completely.
Chapter 14 of Matthew I feel really taught me a lot about the atonement. With the Lord, we can do things that seem impossible. The key words there are with the Lord. We cannot try to do everything by ourselves. Others will think what we are trying to do is impossible, but we can if we keep our eye on the Lord and have faith.
