"If life gets too hard to stand, kneel." -Gordon B. Hinckley

Hard times....

The last few months we have been on an emotional roller coaster that I REALLY want to get off of, and if you know me I LOVE roller coasters so it must be bad to want to get off of. A lot of tears have been shed, sleepless nights, a LOT of hugs and kisses and some great family and friends that we have been able to talk to and have helped us with our trials.

Last night Johns and I were talking and he made the comment that we picked our trials, WOW what were we thinking? Hello, can I have a do over? Please?.....then tonight I was playing around on the Internet and found the following quote "even with all the many tears and pain that I have encountered there is always someone that is going through something more challenging." What a true statement that I really need to stop and think about when I am going through my trials. I am so blessed for so many things but especially so thankful that I have Dwayne by my side, he is my rock!!!!

God has a plan for each of us and sometimes we have to learn patience to see how this plan is going to unfold.

Life!

A friend of mine posted the following on her blog paraphrasing Elder Uchtdorf on his talk in conference:

"It is easy to be busy; it takes some real thoughtfulness to live simply and enjoy life's little pleasures."

I hope all enjoy life's little pleasures and treasure them each and every day!

Trials....

"Trials are not consequences of our disobedience, they are evidence the Lord feels we are prepared to grow more." Richard G Scott

Forgiveness

Please take a few minutes and watch the video below from LDS.ORG "Forgiveness" you can link to it by clicking on the word FORGIVENESS.

There is something that we can all learn from this man and his ability to follow our Savior and forgive even in his darkest moments. Sometimes things happen to us that we will not know the reason for a very long time but we must always remember that our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child.
