Little 'ah ha' moment for me here - you know how when a piece of metal is heated to be fashioned into something beautiful, it's placed in a fire, and what happens in the process? IT GIVES OFF LIGHT. That's you, even through all of this, you are still filled with light. I see it and selfishly draw strength from it all the time. God knew I needed you, and I thank him all the time.<br />Ok, before I become a complete puddle, here are a few things read or said to me that have helped me keep on keepin' on:<br />A life in the service of your husband and children is not a life wasted.<br />It all doesn't need to be figured out today.<br />There is a season for everything, a season for growth, a season for blessing others with your harvested blessings, a season for rest, and a season to start fresh.<br />Stay close to the Lord, stay close to the Lord<br />There is no doubt, that when the forces of the Evil One would be at their strongest, that the Lord would send forth His strongest, most faithful, loyal diciples so that victory would be a surety. We are they, the ones chosen. We have greatness within us. The Lord knows it - do we?<br />Love you forever, hugs :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044557179576098437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684576666930394056.post-21377899458736956192009-12-09T08:25:25.558-07:002009-12-09T08:25:25.558-07:00My Granny has a saying on her fridge that says &qu...My Granny has a saying on her fridge that says "Tough times don't last.

You have always stood as an example of strength to me, and now is no exception. Those quotes not only are uplifting you, but they certainly uplifted me, and probably every reader of this blog. I love you, and the Lord loves you!

My heart goes out to you. I feel th...Oh my Erica. My heart goes out to you. I feel the pain (you are trying to express) that is going on in your heart. Although I do not know the cause of that pain, I want you to know that I am in awe of the strength that you are portraying. I am so inspired by your testimony that our Father in Heaven is real and that he is there through all of this with you. He truly is.<br /><br />There are two things that come to mind. I just read them on my friend Christal's blog the other day. She is the QUEEN of quotes and has collected them for years. I will share two of them from her blog that just popped into my head as I read your post just now. I hope that they can help you in some small way. <br /><br />You most definitely can ask for prayers on your family's behalf. I am going to my knees right now.<br /> <br />Quotes:<br /><br />1."All of us have problems. We face them every day. How grateful I am that we have difficult things to wrestle with.They keep us young...if that is possible. They keep us alive.They keep us going. They keep us humble. They pull us down to our knees to ask the God of Heaven for help in solving them. Be grateful for your problems, and know that somehow there will come a solution." --President Hinckley<br /><br />2."No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expand our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God.....and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in Heaven." --Orson F.
