The world is full of pathways and the choices are numberless. There are some that seem attractive and desirable but eventually lead to darkness and despair. Other pathways can draw us into a comfortable existence but then our progress stops. There are the tempting choices that appeal to our physical desires that can bring personal hardships, destroying families and individuals. All is not lost. He who loves us most is there to light our path through the darkness. He can be our personal guide as we seek to find peace in this troubled world. Fear not, for His pathways are straight and His light an eternal beacon of hope. He offers a peace that will surpass all understanding. No matter how desperate, lost, alone or afraid you may feel, Our Savior Jesus Christ is there to help. All you need to do is ask.

Pathway to M.O.R.E.

Often we seek for more. More time, more money, more friends, more laughter, more things, more adventures, more fun, more happiness, more joy, more love…

We achieve a goal but all too soon it seems insufficient and we want more.  So we work harder, play harder, love deeper and keep reaching for the elusive more. It seems we just can’t get enough of more.

In my six decades of earth life I have seen more in many different perspectives. From a young sweet child who always wanted more attention to a teenager who longed for more friends.  A young adult who needed more understanding to deal with the changing world and a newlywed desiring more love and tenderness.  There was the mother of eight who wished she had more time for everything, even just a few quiet moments!

Life was not easy, living with a broken heart and shattered dreams over and over again I yearned for more.  Slowly, gradually, I began to see M.O.R.E. in a different light… M for Moments of learning to appreciate the time we have.  O for Opportunities that are available with change. R for Reactions, as we each have a choice. E for Endeavor, pushing onward even when it’s hard.

The years have flown bye. There were some that I soared on the wings of eagles yet others I was grounded with the missing feathers of unexpected change. Living alone has given more time to look deeper inside. Thus my understanding of M.O.R.E. has been modified once again. M became the Magic you make with the moments. Opportunities changed to Offering more help to others. Reactions moved to Reason as I follow the promptings of the spirit.  Endeavor is still part of the plan, but I Embrace the challenges, growing in knowledge and understanding. I have indeed learned a lot more.

Wanting and reaching for more of the right things, like those that brings us closer to Heavenly Father, are within our grasp. Sometimes we feel lacking, but with sincere prayers we can receive more help from the Lord. His love and concern are limitless. However, more time, effort, and dedication may be needed. With the Lords help impossible dreams can become reality.

What M.O.R.E. need we seek?
