Instead of listing all of the things I want to change or do this year I am going to list one word that I hope to apply to all areas of my life. (Thanks Kara for the idea)My Word is: Delight
Spencer has blessed our family with many things this year. We have had to be a more unified family. We have learned about service, we have learned to do without a lot of what we want. But the very most precious and wonderful blessing has been watching this little baby light up at every hug, smile, gift, wave, or stuffed animal. He is a Delight. Yesterday we went to Toys R Us to get a new carseat for him and while we where there we saw a lot of toys we thought he would like. We showed him each toy and with his big brown eyes dancing he would give the most angelic Delighted smile. His very favorite thing was a baby Mickey Mouse. He wrapped his little arms around the soft toy and hugged it with all of his heart. He continued to do this over and over as we walked through the store. My heart was overwhelmed with the power that surrounded this little boys looks of grattitude and delight. I immediately thought of how our Heavenly Father must feel when or If I take notice and Delight in the world around me. I want to be the kind of person who Delights in the world around me. I want to find joy and Delight in my challenges and struggles. I want to look for that silver lining that is always there.I hope this year is full of Delight and that I may be more of a Delight to those around me and most importantly a Delight to my Father in Heaven.
