Raining Ice

This morning we woke up to a beautiful sight! Everything was covered in ice! The leaves and grass were incased with ice and it was beautiful! The light would hit it just right and everything would sparkle. It was just splendid. It was a wonderful reminder of the beauty of nature. This world is incredible! It is the one most magnificent creation of our Heavenly Father. Just one of them! For a God who created all things I am shocked He spends so much time focused on us.
This idea was reiterated in my studies this morning. Psalms 8: 3-4 says,

" When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What is man, that thou art mindful of him?"

Why is God mindful of us? Lets be honest. We are pretty foolish 99% of the time. We mess up continually, we have negative attitudes, we hurt one another, we aren't very good at focusing on God or even showing we love Him. Basically we are all just struggle buses. And yet, He still is mindful of us. Everyday. Another scripture I read this morning was in the book of Ether that says,

"we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens, and that we are unworthy before thee; because of the fall  our natures have become evil continually; nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment that we must call upon thee" (Ether 3:2).

We are literally EVIL continually!! And yet God still commands us to pray to Him and to ask Him for help. He is a very very loving, merciful God. When I think of all of the blessings and beauty of this world, I will now forever think of the fact that above all these things God is thinking of me. And God is thinking of you. He loves each of us. He is there for us and He is always mindful of us.
