Wow...Conference this weekend was just simple wonderful!! I feel like my spiritual cup was overflowing and I can't wait to get the Ensign with all the talks so I may more fully digest.
A couple talks really stood out to me, but I would like to focus for just a moment on President Monson's closing remarks from the Sunday morning session. His exortation to find joy in our journey really spoke to my heart. We all have challenges in life and as I face some of my own, I found peace in his challenge to find joy even in the difficult times in life. This is something I really struggle with at times. It is easy to lose sight of those simple joys when the tempest rages.
I thought that I could focus on this over the next 6 months with a gratitude journal. I started one in April after the suggestion during conference and it made me much more aware of the gentle blessings of Heavenly Father. I guess when life gives you a good kick in the teeth, time to thank the Lord for not letting life bloody your lip. And at least you get to have a good up close look at life's great new boots...dang!!
So here we go again! Oh...and check out this site for a good laugh! www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com
