I was thinking about what I loved most about others or why exactly I loved them further what it means to love them, and while I was thinking about how mankind seems to need connection and how the whole purpose of life boils down to connecting to whom we love most. But, nothing new to consider there, the new thought was that, and see if you see the "connection", our creator whom we refer to as our Father has asked us to communicate with him. It requires faith, but he promises to hear and answer. I cannot even comprehend how such a thing even could be done, but I believe it, and have testified of many manifestations of such promise. So anyhow, there is a scripture that says that what father if you ask crud, I have to look up the exact wording...
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Then it goes on to say that if a mortal (limited abilities) father knows how to give good gifts, think how much better an eternal heavenly father (omniscient and omnipotent) would be at giving gifts. And I recall a meme of a girl standing with a tiny stuffed bear you and refusing to give it up stating that she loved it, but God had a better one behind his back ready to give to her.
I also (my age is showing) loved Feivel's song from American Tail:
Having just researched it, man, how did this never occur to me he even mentions prayer! But, in my mind it was all about the moon being a shared object, and likewise I always find comfort looking at the same moon whenever I feel alone (at night). But, what dawned on me is that if I believe it possible then I can pray to heavenly father and he will know my heart and mind and bless me accordingly, though chances are I will not think so at first. It is actually crazy to think I could even comprehend what I truly need, my own daughter often asks for things that she wants confusing them with what she needs because she would never ask for what she needs and often she thinks I am ignoring her or not getting it. I try so hard to explain, but though not giving her everything she wants breaks my heart. I love her too much to do so. Although, similarly I do not expect to understand, I will ask and be heard.
It is so hard to have eternal perspective when I do not even know what to prepare for...
