In order for our dear Savior to come to us; we must open the door and let Him in. That door is opened through prayer; a true prayer from the heart. Sister Chieko Okazaki in her book entitled, "Lighten Up" she said the following: "Heavenly Father doesn't want to hear only nice prayers. He wants to hear real prayers, honest prayers.....He doesn't want polite platitudes. He wants you! All of you!. He wants to be the center of your total life-the worried you, the mad you, and the sad you, as well as the inspired, happy, obedient, loving you". Remember you can pray any time, anywhere about anything. Just let the Savior in.
Sister Sheri Dew in her book entitled; "If Life Were Easy, It wouldn't Be Hard" stated: " Is there anything too insignificant to discuss with the Lord? Is any heartache too petty? Is any anxiety or worry too trivial? Is any weakness too insignificant to deal with? The Lord doesn't seem to think so. He has invited us to weary Him with our requests and needs. Just let the Savior in.
Will You Let Him In~
He is waiting Patiently
at the door of your heart
He has knocked, once again
Will you let Him in,
Accepting God into your life
fostering a relationship with
our loving creator,
Our Savior, stands
At the doorway of your heart
Let Him in.
During the last few weeks my heart has ached but the Savior has walked with me and I know that He Lives and Loves me and you and that comfort and peace has come through Him.
Just Let The Savior In.

LeAnn, I always love reading your perspective on things. I think my prayers have been far too trite lately. I need to unburden my heart. Thanks for this post. It has opened my eyes. Love you! I am sorry for your losses. Thank goodness for the Gospel which teaches us that this is not all there is. xxoo
A beautiful truth very well said!!
Thanks so much for a beautiful post. I wish I could do graphics and pictures like you can. Someday when I come home, I'm going to hire you for an individual tutorial. Hugs to you and lots of love, Christy

(oh and I got the Beverage Wrangler idea from a company that used to sell them, unfortunately they went out of business so my friend dad made it)
You and your family have had a hard time with so much on your plate. I know he is listening to you. I will say an extra prayer for you tonight
