I had a post covering the craptastick week that was last week. But since rereading it, I have decided to go in a different direction. Last week was rough, very rough. But once again, I learned how strong I can be when I rely on the Lord. A part that made last week so rough was having to say goodbye to my Grandma Clement. She had the wonderful opportunity to leave the pains and trials of this earth life and move on to the next life. While it has been hard, I am so happy for her. There were so many strengthening moments for me, so many testimony builders. My testimony of the plan of salvation has grown so much in the last couple of days. One of the songs that the grandkids and great grandkids sang at my Grandma’s funeral is a new song that the Primary kids learned this year. I love the words of the song. It strengthens me. It also helps me keep all the other stuff that happened last week in check.  It shares part of the Testimony of the Savior that I have.  He is real to me!


I Know That My Savior Loves Me

A long time ago in a beautiful place,
Children were gathered ‘round Jesus.
He blessed and taught as they felt of His Love.
Each saw the tears on His face.
The love that He felt for His little ones
I know He feels for me.
I did not touch Him or sit on His knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me.

I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know that my Savior loves me.

Now I am here in a beautiful place,
Learning the teachings of Jesus.
Parents and teachers will help guide the way,
Lighting my path ev’ry day.
Wrapped in the arms of my Savior’s love,
I feel His gentle touch.
Living each day, I will follow His way,
Home to my Father above.

I know He lives!
I will follow faithfully.
My heart I give to Him.
I know my Savior loves me!
I know my Savior loves me!
