I realized that I have not fed my soul lately. My sister was reading a talk from one of the sessions of our church's LDS General Conference last month, and reminded me of some words that I needed to read. You can read the talk here. It is food for the soul. I have been pretty down (as I have previously shared) and seriously needed a little lift. I also just wanted to say thank-you for all the comments. They buoy us up through these hard times and help us get out of bed every morning. We have so many wonderful friends and family that we care for and love and also care and love us. It was great to come home last night after a long day of work and my sister and brother-in-law were there. It meant a lot, and they even took us to go get some ice cream. It seems like I have been uplifted by so many. A wise woman put it perfectly:
"there is much to be learned about the Lord and the Atonement here.
"Surely, he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows."Isaiah 53:4
The Lord suffers with us. He is in the trenches of our despair and tears with us. He's not telling us to be patient, He wraps us in His arms and whispers, "I know. I know."
I love this and feel it. Thank-you to all those who buoy us.
