“When thou didst create man, thou placed within him part of thine omnipotence and bade him choose for himself.” ~David O. McKay
Our stay at the posh Scottsdale resort was brought to us by a decision. A decision that–though controversial to some–for us was perfect.
While watching my girls relax by the poolside at this posh resort, I reflected on one of my favorite things about being alive–our right to choose. I love the diversity of the human spirit and that ideas, thoughts and decisions can, and should, be custom made to fit our own life experiences.
“Never, and I mean never, allow anyone else’s ideas of who you can or can’t become sully your dream or pollute your imagination. This is your territory, and a ‘Keep Out’ sign is a great thing to erect at all entrances to your imagination.” ~Wayne Dyer
If ever I forget that this life is not a one size fits all experience and I find myself judging others for having different ideas than my own, I try to remember my Dad’s words of wisdom when he’d say, “What’s it to ya fish face?”
Similarly, the Savior gave us these words on the matter,
“Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.”
This verse always makes me smile as I imagine looking down and seeing the words,
What’s it to ya fish face?
written in the footnotes.
The decision that brought us to the posh resort in Scottsdale–though controversial to some–was made under the loving assurance from our Savior that He thought it was right for us.
So with His command to, “follow thou me” that’s exactly what we did.
And… well… What’s it to ya fish face? 🙂
