Trials

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such quailities 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, expands 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, tiol and tribulation, that we gain the education that we came here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven." Orson F. Whitney

Agreed. Sisters always seem to know what to say when you need it! Mine sure does :)

Everyone has their fair share of trials (albeit completely different), but I'm thinking you've really felt it lately. Thank goodness you're still hanging in there! You're amazing.
