I have a testimony of the power of reading the Ensign magazine. Sometimes the articles look like they are not about my stage of life, but I read every word, every month, and I learn and am lifted. I have felt heavy this week with many things going on in life and this morning I read these words from the June Ensign:
The gospel of Jesus Christ is about constant repentance and change--it is an uphill climb rather than a stroll in the park.
Maybe instead of endure to the end, we can enjoy to the end.
Empathy is defined as the action of understanding and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another . We may not be able to alter the journey, but we can make sure no one walks it alone.
We learn quickly that our best and most selfless services are often not adequate to comfort or encourage in the way people need. We must ultimately turn to Jesus Christ and rely on Him.
The caretakers have to have care too. You have to have fuel in the tank before you can give it to others.
Hope is the lifeline that can keep you from being overwhelmed by the storms in your life.
