Our little Mother, Grandmother is back "home" and we are all feeling better. Have been thinking about the opportunities and challenges we all face and this morning this phrase came to mind:
Maybe it is because
Elder Holland is a hometown boy but whenever he speaks I seem to listen more intently and the stories he shares seem so familiar. "With any major decision there are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don’t give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. “Cast not away therefore your confidence.” Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you."
Lots of major decisions being made, congratulations, Vince and Jill! The "beauty of life" is blossoming for your family right now Laurie, Vince getting married, Matt going on a mission, Tess being baptized, and a new baby for Rachel and Dennis, makes me think of Mother telling me when I was a young mother and I thought I was busier than anyone, that the care and concern just layer and layer and as the family expands your love does too. What a good Mama and how wise.
