Stephanie Nielson and her daughter.
Trials come, whether they be in the forms of computers breaking down, gum getting stuck on your shoe, milk getting spilt, your keyboard getting stuck on the letter "h" as you're writing this post, your exam baffling you, getting spit up on by a baby, being woken up in the middle of the night, or any myriad of possibilities. However, the beauty of life is that you can choose the outcome. It is our attitudes that make all the difference. I just watched a video entitled "My New Life" on YouTube, and it is an inspiring story of a young mother and her struggles in surviving a plane crash alongside her husband, and suffering burns and subsequent physical deformities. Even though this could be a tragic and disheartening story, it has turned out to be quite the opposite. She has used this struggle to learn to appreciate the most important things in life such as the Gospel and her family, as well as to focus on what makes her beautiful, besides her physical attributes. In the video she states that motherhood is beauty, and I agree full heartedly with this. It is the daily acts of love and our ability to give love that makes us loveable and truly beautiful.
I think this is cool that you put her story on your blog. I watched her YouTube and shared it with other people as well. It was a touching and inspiring YouTube. Someone said at one point it was the most watched YouTube one week. It's so neat that people from around the world watched it. My mom actually knows Stephanie and her mom. (Her mom worked on the library board at Provo City LIbrary) They are good people. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed and felt blessed to have read the story. She is an example for use to follow and an inspriation for me to be the right kind of beauty, the one that counts and puts things in the Lords prespective. Thanks Janae! : )
