Wednesday: I love you because

 

via design is mine

 (I love: notes, stationary, cards,- all things paper.  

These cards would be cute plastered all over my husband's truck.)

Unlike Madonna, I am not a material girl.

I do admit I want and like 

camera lenses,

headbands,

make-up,

shoes,

and 

there's sure to be more.

I'm trying to care less about stuff.

I'm trying to care more about my relationships.

With the Lord,

with my husband,

with my kids,

with my family,

with my friends, 

with the lady at the grocery store that I've never met.

I tend to fixate on some of the least important stuff.

like the colors I want in the hall,

or where I can find a yellow bracelet for my new outfit.

My mind is cluttered with worldly chatter.

Then I go here:

or open these:

or listen to this 

All my life I've learned about

The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

After the Savior was crucified, and was gone from the earth

his gospel was lost.

It was restored again.

My faith in this restoration

brings peace in my life,

is an anchor,

adds perspective to trials,

helps me teach eternal principles to my children,

guides me through the things I can't control,

teaches,

and

inspires,

me to know how Jesus Christ can make me whole.

All my life.

I apply.

I try.

My happiness is not at Target.

My happiness is in His gospel.

I love what I know.

I'm better than I was.

I get on my knees.

I can hush the stuff.

 His Gospel.

I love you because I'm not just a material girl.
