MY LITTLE MOMENT

I HAD THIS MOMENT TODAY THAT I JUST HAD TO TRY TO PUT INTO WORDS. I WAS SITTING IN MY MARRIAGE & FAMILY CLASS, AND THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ATTACKS OF THE WORLD ON THE FAMILY, HOW PEOPLE LOOK AT MARRIAGE AND FAMILY AS A BURDEN AND NOT A MOST CHOICE BLESSING. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A WIFE AND MOTHER, BUT I CONFESS, I TOO WANTED TO DO SEVERAL THINGS BEFORE I GOT ALL 'SETTLED DOWN.' I ESPECIALLY THOUGHT WANTED TO FINISH SCHOOL AND TRAVEL THE WORLD FIRST, AND THEN, FINALLY, GET MARRIED. I WAS SITTING THERE AND GOT A LITTLE EMOTIONAL REALIZING THAT HEAVENLY FATHER IS AWARE OF ME AND KNOWS, AND HAS ALWAYS KNOWN, WHAT WILL MAKE ME THE MOST HAPPY. SOME OF THE MOST SWEET AND TENDER MOMENTS OF MY LIFE HAVE BEEN WITH LANDON AND ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'VE BEEN MARRIED. I'VE NEVER FELT SO MUCH JOY AND LOVE. IT'S WONDERFUL, AND I'M GRATEFUL I'M ABLE TO FINISH SCHOOL, TOO, BUT SCHOOL HASN'T BROUGHT ME JOY! MY MARRIAGE HAS! I'M EMBARRASSED TO THINK THAT I WAS TRYING TO PUT OFF THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. I USED TO LAUGH AT YOUNG COUPLES' 'DUPLEX OF DREAMS' AND LACK OF...EVERYTHING! I'M JUST GRATEFUL OUR CHURCH LEADERS ARE SO IN TUNE WITH THE SPIRIT TO MAKE THE PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD AND EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY.
