Heal

I had a dream last night. The setting was my parent's house. I was trying desperately to get to my dad, I needed to tell him something really important.
Every time I would find him, my whole body would seize up and I would end up on the floor, frozen in motion.
I would catch sight of his feet or his back as he walked out of the room. I tried to yell and then I tried to scream for him, but only my breath made noise. It's hoarse, sorry sound didn't make it to him.
Not the greatest start to my day.
Then there he was; on my phone, in the words by Dieter Uchtdorf.
"Because we are made of the stuff of eternity. We are eternal beings, children of the Almighty God, whose name is Endless and who promises eternal blessings without number. Endings are not our destiny."
"When we are grateful to God in our circumstances, we can experience gentle peace in the midst of tribulation.....Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges.
This is not a gratitude of the lips but of the soul. It is a gratitude that heals the heart and expands the mind."
It seems totally random to everyone, but this is exactly what I needed to hear. I could use some "healing of the heart".
