There is a Plan
I think we have made it through the first week. Well, maybe not an entire week, but it was the first day of school for most of those living in our house this week.
Silver Horn is a sophomore.
Tenor Man is a Senior.
The Princess started her official first day as a certified teacher.
I understand it went very well. I have heard bits and pieces, but was not here to experience it. Duties of work called that had me out of town at a conference. So I missed it. It was kind of strange. I believe it was the first time that I ever missed it.
Wednesday morning, I was just rousing my lazy body out of bed and getting ready for the day when my phone rang. I gladly answered so that I might talk to my loving spouse who was on the other end. It was then that I realized that I was in a different time zone. Though it was early for me, it was even earlier for her. Suddenly, I was worried that something might be wrong. She was concerned that she was waking me up. As it ended up, neither one of us had anything to worry about.
The Queen had called to share her what was on her mind. It was the first day of school. She was scheduled to be at work long before the boys were required to be awake. I was in another state. Suddenly, there was no parent home to make sure that a hot breakfast was on the table or that first day school pictures were taken. This is what was bothering my beautiful companion.
She wanted to know my opinion about the matter. Should she just go to work and forget about it? Should she flex her shift a couple hours? Should she ask Princess to be the parent? or was she just making a bigger deal out of it than she should?
If you asked the boys, they would have told her she was making a bigger deal of than she should have. However, I disagree. I stood there in my hotel room overwhelmed with love and gratitude for an Eternal Plan. I realized more than ever that I wanted to spend forever with the gorgeous woman speaking to me on the other end of the phone. Witness was shared with me that there is a plan. Man and woman, husband and wife, blessings of the sealing power, and truthfulness that a loving Heavenly Father is real and knows what where I lack and where I need to be strengthened.
My eternal help meet was fulfilling her royal responsibilities as Mother. She reminded of me of what was most important. I bear witness of this God inspired plan.
I know that there are some in the world that don't feel they fit into the plan. They have personal challenges that prevent them from being able to fully participate in this plan while in mortality. I don't know why. I don't always understand their challenges. However, I know that there is a reason they were given such challenges. I know that they can either overcome or be given the strength to endure such challenges. I also know that if they do so, they will be blessed.
I know that there are many who have the opportunity to participate, but are not. I encourage you to evaluate your current placement in the plan and figure out how you can. It is a blessing that goes beyond my understanding, but well worth it.
