This week, we took the car to the shop to get it serviced. While we were waiting, we went to a customer lounge where there were a few Tv's. We don't get a lot of opportunities to watch T.V. so we watched the news for a while. 5 minutes in, I felt overwhelmed and scared for this world. Life is not easy. It is stressful and unpredictable. This weekend is General Conference and it allows us to listen to the uplifting words of the prophets. No matter where you are spiritually. No matter where you are in your happiness. No matter where you are in your testimony. If you get anything out of this Easter Sunday, let it be hope. Let it be hope that our Savior lives. Let it be hope that things will get better. I promise that even when we go through trials, even "if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee" we can be happy. Christ will bear our burdens.
"I have seen enough ups and downs throughout my life to know that winter will surely give way to the warmth and hope of a new spring. I am optimistic about the future. For our part, we must remain steadfast in hope, work with all our strength, and trust in God." - Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I love you all and hope you have a great Easter weekend.
