I can't believe it is already going to be Monday again in just a few hours. I have been thinking about some of my favorite quotes and for some reason, this one keeps coming to mind. My great sister Edee gave this to me a long time ago, (I was probably falling apart for one reason or another, thanks for always being there Edee!) You are my rock! It is by
Elder Neal A Maxwell:
"When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed."
I actually have it memorized, because it has given me great strength over the years. I have a long lost friend from my mission who has decided to become an Athiest and I can't even fathom it. I haven't spoken to this person for 15 years, but even so, it has been upsetting to me. I am so thankful to know that God does live and that He loves me and knows I CAN DO IT!! Whatever the "IT" is. We had Young Women in excellence for our ward tonight, and I am so proud of my daughter. She is good and kind and I am so glad she has Young Women's to be a part of and learn all there is to learn. I hope I don't sound to 'preachy' but I am thankful for the gospel. My friend's choice to be athiest has made me even more thankful for my testimony and made me ponder what life would be like without it, NO THANKS! Life is all about choices, so here's to making good ones! Anyway, have a great Monday and here's to another week of the rat race! :)

Lovely quote and wonderful reminders to not only endure, but endure our trials well! I need this reminder daily, sometimes hourly!
I really like this quote! Thanks for that. Wow, my kiddo's signature hair do sure stands out up there in the header picture!!
We've learned to brush hair now with kiddo #2.
I can't believe it has already been a week since you have posted this quote. It is one of my favorites too!
Love, Edee
