Have you ever wondered how “Pooh bear”
got his head wedged in that honey pot? I mean, when I was a kid, my brother and
I loved all of the “Winnie the Pooh” adventures; kids don’t know what they’re
missing these days. Secretly I wished that Christopher Robin as my brother. He was so
cool and wise beyond his ears. One reason why “Pooh” was always getting his
head stuck, was that he was a greedy little “honey” bear. He would eat and eat
and then try to waddle off and climb thru the Bunny’s small door, or he would
get stuck in a beehive tree, or worse he would just stick his too big head into
the opening of a “too small” jar. But here is the annoying thing about Pooh, he
never really learned from those episodes of “stuckness”. He forgot as soon as
another honey pot came into play. He didn’t have a “plan”, to either avoid
getting stuck, or how to get unstuck.
It occurred to me that getting stuck is
like a record skipping at the same place, a loop if you will. I have been stuck
for a minute, and I totally ignored it. I seemed to just let it pass as if
trying to get unstuck and moving forward was not very important. But it wasn’t
until I found myself with one foot wedged in the past and surprisingly my other
foot stuck in the present. It’s been a pretty painful situation and it has come
to a head, I had to shoot up a flare for help from my Heavenly Father. Jesus is
on it, right away. I realize as I am trying to unstuck myself, that this
situation sometimes comes about because of pride, of laziness, and of “Holding
on to the safe place of the past, It doesn’t fit anymore and like old clothes,
it needs to be passed down, there is a pressing need for us to let go.” I am
letting go of the past and asking for help. Stronger is just around the corner…. I have been walking on water, sort of like Peter, but this is not a miraculous thing, it is more like Nephi, being led by the spirit not knowing where I am going. But I do know, and that place is like a beacon shining before me, and I am almost there.
The best place that we can live, is in the love of the Father and his son Jesus
Christ. I feel that love, I am that love
