Doors

Why did I choose a door for my blog theme? I have a small fascination with doors. If you think about a door... they are for keeping things in and/or out. They can be metaphors for opportunities, road blocks, hope, surprises, curiosity and new beginnings. Sometimes when I stare at a door I imagine someone living behind the door. All nestled in a beautiful safe cocoon! I like to think that my family is that cocoon and if we stick together we will be safe and happy. I smile and feel like there is always something waiting behind every "door". This fascination started for me while I was on my mission in Seattle Washington in 1984-1985. Someone gave me this picture of Christ knocking at the door. He is  knocking but since there is no knob on the door he can not open the door and come in unless we open it for him.  I use this as a metaphors for hope. I always want to have the hope and faith I need to know that I am loved not only by my earthly family but my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He died for me and paved the way for me to finish my journey back home. He will always be there for me and all I have to do is humble myself and ask. All everyone has to do is ask. He is not a respecter of persons and no matter what we do he will always be there.
