The Grand Canyon

This was a long trip...



.....but so worth it!

This earth truly is a blessing to all of us who live here. I don't think we realize it with all of our needs for technology and modern gadgets. Don't get me wrong, I have a cell phone and a computer and I love all the new technology also, but I think we need to sometimes just stop and enjoy what God has already given us. I realized this when I went down to visit the Grand Canyon with my wife's family. As I looked down into the vast canyon I couldn't help but think about all of the creation and time that was put into the earth. Why would God take all of this time to make an earth so beautiful, functional and perfect? Then it hit me. God is our loving Heavenly Father. He loves us and that's why He does things for us. I had known that for a very long time, but it hit me harder that day as I realized that everything created on this earth was created for us. He loves us so much and no matter what we do, His love does not change. Now, He doesn't love everything we do but He will always love us. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and that His son, Jesus Christ, is my Savior. I testify that we are eternally indebted to our God and as we make feeble attempts to pay Him back we are only blessed hundreds of times more in return for our obedience, service and charity.
