an ordinary looking chair.
If this chair could talk....
it has already usefully and memorably filled a variety of capacities...
Countless family meals, special friends gatherings, wiggly bottoms of grandchildren, breathlessly holding newborns-fresh from Heaven. Time-outs for children and some adults, comfy-enough for Grandma's while doing puzzles on the computer. Audience chair for plays and performances of grandchildren, visits during a recovery. A place for chats between parents and adult children- while listening to wedding announcements, life dreams and house plans. A safe zone for checking loose teeth, splinters, and scrapes that need band-aides and all-better kisses, 'Nuggles' for story time with little grands, making Ana-braids, and every other kind too.
And those special times where faith reaches out to meet hope, and a Priesthood blessing is called down from a loving Heavenly Father, to lift, strengthen, reassure, and give divine direction. Where righteous desire and complete trust and eternal love combine, and God's plan is revealed. Sacred moments where Heaven joins earth and His Spirit fills souls, and peace prevails, as only God can majestically orchestrate. Fear, doubt and worry flee in the face of such Priesthood Power. Home again is a sanctuary where faith, love and peace reside.
An ordinary chair ? I think not ! Everything earth-bound has a greater, higher, divine purpose...even me. I may look ordinary to some, but God knows my royal blood, my divine nature, my eternal potential. And as I view myself through His eyes I begin to catch a glimpse of who I really am. A daughter of a King! Endless potential lies within. Accomplishments too numerous to mention from before this world began. A future too glorious to describe. And so today I may look a little ordinary but there's always One who sees me as I truly am, so with my hand in His I take just one more step, and He gives me the strength to take another....together we are amazing!
A chair...
No ordinary chair...
When this chair shares....
