Never Alone

I think in this world it really is so important to be there for those around us. The other day while I was walking around campus I saw a girl walking around with a walking stick, this boy began walking next to her.  I crepily watched this young man as he talk to her.  Her face lit up as he asked her questions about what she was studying, they began laughing and big smiles draped their faces.  I know in life we don't see the Lord literally walking down the street, we don't get to sit on big hills and listen to his voice penetrate into our hearts.  But we still have his words and he has told us to Love! I know in when I was watching this young man I literally saw the hands of the Lord. One thing I recognized too was that they were both blessed from talking to each other. I saw the kind of act the Lord would preform. I saw brotherly love!  I think when we take the time to be there for our brothers and sisters in this world the Lord smiles down from heaven.  

"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."

-John 15:9

There are always so many excuses for why we seem to shy away from the people and stay mute, I always think it is the most awkward thing not talking to the person next to you on a 4 hour airplane ride.  Or when you are in an elevator and everyone avoids eye contact!  Open up!  Talk to the people around you! You never know what you can learn from the lady at the cash register or the man standing next to you in Starbucks.  Say hi!  Talk to people, smile more! This is a beautiful world in which we live in and why don't we add our two cents.  Why don't we open the door for the person in front of us or wave to the stranger you run past in the morning!   I believe one person can make a change in the world and I believe it can start with you!!  We all have unique differences and talents and I think now is the best time to share them and to learn about ones that belong to those around us.  I remember in Hawaii I would talk to the Lady who would cleans the dorms, she always had a big smile draped across her face! I loved sitting and talking to her as she was walking around the halls. One day I got to sit down with her and we made leis and talked.  I found out her husband was struggling with cancer and she had to work and then rush home to take care of him and then take him to his treatments.  My heart broke inside, each day I had no idea the struggle she was going through, I had no idea the pain she must feel so often.  I wanted to hold he in my arms and make everything ok.  I was amazed at the optimism this women carried, how brave and positive she was!  It reaffirmed to me once again that we have no idea what battle each of us are fighting.  Let us be kind! When someone is rude to us we have no idea what events have been occurring in that persons life.  Let us not be quick to judge.  As I am writing this I am writing this to myself as well.  I need to remind myself of how I should be acting!  I know that when we do these things we will have great joy come into our lives and who knows we might even find a few more friends a long this crazy journey we call life! 

 

" Be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come"

-D&C 68:6 

I love the lyrics to this song! so Beautiful!!

So for years I have loved the lyrics to this song! I think they are so inspiring! 

                                                      Never Alone by Lady Antebellum!   

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
And know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

Well I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fear surrounds you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone
