Loser

As I was pondering the many things that I would love to change about myself, one that is at the top of the list is how I am a loser. I lose my cell phone regularly, my poor husband is very use to me IMing him to call my phone. But at the top of the list is my keys, many a morning has started with a frantic search for the car keys so that we can rush to the bus stop. I had prayed on occasion to overcome this weakness, I was complaining to my sister that I still struggled with constantly losing the keys then it hit me. I cannot pray just once to overcome this, it must be a daily prayer.


27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their ^aweakness. I ^bgive unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my ^cgrace is sufficient for all men that ^dhumble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make ^eweak things become strong unto them.

I have always loved this passage Moroni a prophet of God struggled with his ability to write and was worried that people would dismiss the importance of the Lords words because of his weakness in writing. The Lords response to Moroni is beautiful, if we humble ourselves He will make our weakness strong. I didn't need any help in identifying a weakness (I think most of us are painfully aware of our shortcomings) but I did need help in overcoming it.

So one day when I was reading my scriptures, I was pondering this promise of weak things becoming strong, I had a thought come to me. I hardly ever lose my purse, so maybe if my keys were tied to my purse I would never lose my keys. Personal revelation. So I tied my keys with string to my bright lime green purse, I love that color. Than my husband noticed my contraption and he thought he could "help" me. So for Christmas he upgraded my ribbon tethers to a retractable key chain, who knew they made those.

I love hearing how this passage of scripture has helped others. I have a friend who has a weakness for over eating, she says she has a prayer in her heart morning, nightly and at every meal to not over eat. She told me once she realized that this promise could apply to her, she has relied on it.



As for me, one weakness greatly strengthened now on to the next one.....
