“When thou didst create man, thou placed within him part of thine omnipotence and bade him choose for himself.” ~David O. McKay<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“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<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
Similarly, the Savior gave us these words on the matter,<\/p>\n
“Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.”<\/p>\n
This verse always makes me smile as I imagine looking down and seeing the words,<\/p>\n
What’s it to ya fish face?<\/p>\n
written in the footnotes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
So with His command to, “follow thou me” that’s exactly what we did.<\/p>\n
And… well… What’s it to ya fish face? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
