This has to be short. I've got too much to do. Do you notice how all my blogs used to be about Anna, David, or cleaning the house? Now they all seem to be about Relief Society, with a few stories about Anna?
Anyway, busy, busy busy. Got a compassionate Service Leader, started on VT, meeting with new Enrichment Leader and Counselor to get them started, trying to start visits. Little by little. I have to train myself not to get overwhelmed or discouraged, because there will always be a lot to do, I just have to go forward, one step at a time. Anna got into a board book she has about the first vision today. We also got some living scriptures videos from the Walkers and watched the story in animated video. Almost as into it as the nativity. She loved Sunbeams on Sunday. Came to me after church and showed me her picture of the baby Moses and told me the story-There was a mean guy that made baby Moses cry, but his Mommy put him in the river, then his mommy found him and took care of him. Close.
Good Night

Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of God ~Aeschylus
Hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day if you choose to serve the Lord this day with your whole heart. Your circumstances may not be improved in all the ways which you desire. But you will have been given new strength to carry your burdens and new confidence that when your burdens become too heavy, the Lord, whom you have served, will carry what you cannot. He knows how. He prepared long ago. He suffered your infirmities and your sorrows when He was in the flesh so that He would know how to succor you. ~Henry B. Eyring
It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, He will hear our prayers." ~Gordon B. Hinckley
