The Love of Church

I read this at church today. I thought I would share!
" Our Heavenly Father, who gives us so much to delight in, also knows that we learn and grow and become stronger as we face and survive the trials through which we must pass. We know that there are times when we will experience heartbreaking sorrow, when we will grieve, and when we may be tested to our limits. However, such difficulties allow us to change for the better, to rebuild our lives in a way our Heavenly Father teaches us and to become something different from what we were- better then we were, more understanding then we were, more empathetic than we were, with stronger testimonies than we had before." President Thomas S. Monson

 

I just really loved it. I feel like I was meant to read this. Last couple of years was a hard on me, and I think reading this helped me remember that I never gave up, and the Lord knows my concerns and has shown me ways to help others. I am a much better person, I have changed, I am better then I was, more understanding and my testimony has changed for the better. We go though trials to make us stronger, better people. I am HAPPY to say that I am happy with who I am, the mom that I have become and the Wife I am.  I just love this Church it never gives up on you. SO don't give up on it. 

 Sorry I kinda just rambled there for a min!
