"The challenges you face, the growth experiences you encounter, are intended to be temporary scenes played out on the stage of a life of continuing peace and happiness. Sadness, heartache, and disappointment are events in life. It is not intended that they be the substance of life. I do not minimize how hard some of these events can be. When the lesson you are to learn is very important, trials can extend over a long period of time, but they should not be allowed to become the confining focus of everything you do. Your life can and should be wondrously rewarding. It is your understanding and application of the laws of God that will give your life glorious purpose as you ascend and conquer the difficulties of life. That perspective keeps challenges confined to their proper place—stepping-stones to further growth and attainment. "

I really love that, too. I have never heard that one before. Wow, I guess I've had a lot of stepping stones. ;)
Thanks for your post. It is so wonderful to read these helpful reminders from our beloved apostles to help us get through each day. Thanks for being such a great example to me, and thanks for your friendship. BTW, last night was fun!
Thanks for your post. Sometimes it can hard to remember the purpose in trial, but the lessons learned . . . they show God's infinite love for each one of us because they change our lives and help define them if we let them.
