Knowledge

I was just thinking about how irritated I get when I think of Satan, tapping his fingers together, curled lips, snickering at what a good job he's doing. And probably already conjuring up his next victim. I know this sounds cartoony and maybe comical, but it's so real. He's so real. And what he can do is scary.
BUT... at the same time it irritates, it makes me so grateful for the knowledge I have that Heavenly Father is even more real. He's bigger and better than Satan. And he is love. Smiling, or crying for us, loving, caring and ALWAYS reaching down his hand. GRAB IT DANG IT! And don't let go. EVER.
My heart is aching for my family who has lost one of theirs. I miss him too. But my knowledge of Heavenly Father's love and plan for us all and knowing that we'll see Danny again, keeps me strong. It makes me want to fight that evil Satan and love my kids even more, protect them even better and beat him out of spite(ok, love.) And I will win, we all will, because FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

Kira,
My testimony of the Gospel came when I was 16; I remember realizing then that Satan was real too, but he is not more powerful than God or Jesus Christ or than we are ourselves, with the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost to guide and comfort us. I've prayed for your family's comfort since Danny's death. Thanks for sharing your heart in every one of your posts.
Love,
Kathy/Grandma Bert
