My thoughts went back to the early years with our puppy Sam and granddaughter Sofia. Both so innocent and vulnerable. You\u2019d have to be engaged 100 percent with them, or their curiosity paths would lead to more trouble than you\u2019d be able to get out of. It was their limitation that was lovable.<br><br>At the other end of the age spectrum, I had my mother on a recent call, related to me an appointment she had with the eye specialist. She has macular degeneration, but it\u2019s compounded with cataracts now. The doctor, too young and attractive for empathy, matter-of-factly dropped the bomb that she could no longer drive, that she would need to<br>come back for 2 treatments over the next 3 months, topping off that she will put her on the cataract surgery wait-list that was already over a year. I could feel my heart sink, and reflecting on this I was wondering why did I feel this way? I could paint the picture of her locked down in her home; COVID restrictions still hovering over, getting one maybe two single visits per week; her fading hearing; quilting, and reading have vanished from the table. This is sensory deprivation plus here. There\u2019s no fault here on her part, she\u2019s just vulnerable. They say love is putting the needs of others ahead of yours. Well, this was kicking in for mom.<br><br>I\u2019m a member of Toastmasters. I joined a couple of years ago to help me with my COMM course on public speaking. Quite often they\u2019re short of speakers, and me being rusty, and still needed considerable improvement, I took the challenge. Giving myself about two weeks lead time, I set myself to present this topic. I mapped out my thoughts and connected with a couple of friends, to have an evening\u2019s discussion on it. My wife Nancy reviewed my drafts and eventually it was as ready as it could for the deadline. <br>(nothing like the limitations of a deadline to produce something)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Here&#8217;s the speech:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I\u2019d like to show you some pictures of Sofia, Sam, and Great Grandpa. These are some of the lovable beings in my life. While you\u2019re looking at them, take a mental note of what you\u2019re thinking, what do they have in common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

We could say Limitation. It at least works for this thought experiment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So you\u2019re God, you wake up and say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Well now, what should I do today? You\u2019ve already done everything, so nothing new.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maybe I should work out. No need, you\u2019re already the most powerful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is getting boring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maybe I could try improving something. Nope, all your work is already perfect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maybe I could go someplace I haven\u2019t been able to go to before. Nada, already been everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can see, being at this final state, having aced all your limitations, seems to make for a bleak future. Then I thought, what about the Son of God. He\u2019s a God, but with Limitation; I\u2019m thinking they were self-imposed. After all, he allowed himself to be setup, captured, and tried on false crimes. He didn\u2019t utter a defense and then got crucified. Christianity seems to love him for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Conclusion<br>After listening to all this, are you thinking differently about limitations? To me, it kind of looks like limits open our potential, and as we work on these, we become more than we are, and this seems to be limitless. Is this our eternal progression? Also, people seem to be ok with our limits, and love us more with our limitations. All this seemed to fit nicely with this scripture I came across at the end of my research: <br>Ether 12:27: And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.
