The inspiration

Have you ever heard a heart wrenching story about someone you know?

Felt helpless?

Wanted to do something and just didn't know what to do?

Well, that was me, I heard such a sad story about some couples I know that split up. (long story short). I was so upset by it!

I wanted to do something to help others in hopes the same thing wouldn't happen to them...or me.

I heard this story and then a few minutes later my 6 month old woke up. I was feeding him and reading the Book of Mormon in Alma. I had been studying Alma 32 and with marriage on my mind I realized that the last part of this chapter(starting in verse 28) is pretty darn good counsel on how to have a good marriage. Next time you read that chapter, think about it.

Well, the gist was that I know my marriage is like the "good seed". I have planted it and nourished it and have seen the fruit. I need to maintain that level of nourishment or even increase it. I will see fruit that is "most precious and sweet above all that is sweet" and I will be able to "feast until I am filled".
Without rambling I will just say that this was the inspiration for this blog. It is my hope to strengthen my marriage by focusing on things I can do to love and serve Zach better. I am doing this blog as much for my marriage as I am for those that read this blog.

There is the inspiration.
