I want to share with you what I’m calling my Scripture
Experiment. I’m taking a conference talk and giving myself a weekly challenge
based upon the talk.
The first talk was President Packard’s.
I was touched by his life-long poem and decided to write not
a poem, but a chronicle of my life. It surprised me how easily my life fell
into these five year chapters. Each five years really did seem to comprise a
chapter of my life, although some chapters and years were more eventful than
others. It was interesting to look back, review and realize that even though
circumstances have changed—I am still, at heart, the person I’ve always been
and that the person I was 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago is still here. My body has
matured, but so has my spirit and like President Packard, I can’t regret the
maturation, because each life chapter and lesson has taught me things I needed
to learn.
I love this scripture:
Isaiah 32:17 And the work of
righteousness shall be peace; and the
effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for
ever.
As I’ve gotten older my life has grown more and more
peaceful. My house is quiet. I’m not as busy. My days are my own to live as I
choose.
I have a wonderful life, and by looking back at these
chapters, I realize that it’s been a wonderful life all along.
