Shoe's

Shoes, do we really want to wear another's?

My life has had it's ups and downs. My trials and
joys have been plenty.

Today as I was reading my home mommies email list that
I am a part of the saying "walk a day in another mans
shoes" and the Question do you really want to compare
or walk in theres came to my mind. So I Thought for
my Lesson of Life I would take a few moments and
reflect. Please realize these are personal and meant
to for me to put on "paper" some of my thoughts.

Through all of this I am reminded of the letter Paul
sent to the Corinthians Of the gifts of the spirit.
To Some it is given, What You look it up. But the
Greatest is Charity. Remember that Charity suffereth
long and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave
itself unseemly seeketh not her own is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil rejoiceth not in iniquity,m
but rejoiceth in the truth, Beareth all things,
believeth all things, hopeth all things endureth all
things Charity never faileth


At first I wondered why this scripture came to me but
I Think I know now after some thought. I have gone
through many trails that many have not and vise visa.
Yet Charity envieth not. envy is not just coveting
someone else's treasure but is also coveting someone
trials. Charity is not easily provoked. this one is a
hard one for me just like the lords prayer pray for
those that spightfully use you. as I looked at each of
these traits of Charity I realized that the gifts of
the spirit has been there and is with me through all
of my trials. How much are they worth to me. Do they
sit on a shelf and collect dust or am I striving to
recognize them for what they are and learn to use
them.

For I know that Charity is the pure love of Christ.
But how can I learn to have charity if I cannot
experience the pain. How can I learn to love as the
Savior?

Each of the gifts of the spirit can be used in each
trial we come across. Yet they are gifts for us to
use just for that trial. Are we ready to just cast
them aside to envy another's. I beg to persuade
myself and others not to. Cherish those gifts search
for them they are there and apart of our lives made
especially for us and only us. To streghten, mold, and
shape us to become the Daughters and Son of our
Heavenly Father that he know we are.
