Happy SUNDAY!

Its been a really hard year for our family, but THANKFULLY we have leaders in the Gospel who help push us through and give us the hope and strength we need.

My Mom (who is my ultimate hero) sent me this quote from Jeffrey R. Holland and it totally made my heart feel a little warmer, so I decided to share, for those of you who may need a pick me up as well.

"In the gospel of Jesus Christ you have help from both sides of the veil, and you must never forget that. When disappointment and discouragement strike--and they will--you remember and never forget that if our eyes could be opened we would see horses and chariots of fire as far as the eye can see riding at reckless speed to come to our protection. They will always be there, these armies of heaven, in defense of Abraham's seed.

Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha" (2 Kings 6:16-17)


I am SO thankful for the Gospel...it keeps me going, even when I feel I have reached my limit.
