The meaning of life...

Elder Alexander B. Morrison (Of the Seventy) once said...Troubles, great and small, seem to be the natural lot of mankind. In our darkest moments, we may agree with Macbeth’s declaration that life is “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” However, the scriptures and God’s prophets teach us the fallacy of Macbeth’s bleak philosophy and help us recognize that what we call life is a gift of galactic dimensions, a treasure beyond the counting, a time to prepare for the next steps in our eternal journey.


I really liked this quote. I've been thinking a lot about life recently. Things have been hard financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically....all of it. Times get hard and I wonder if I'll ever get through it. But, you know what? I always do. And, I'm always stronger for it! I have an amazing family and friends who help me each step of the way, and I know I can always pray for help, too.

Life really is good. I am so blessed. I'm at a great point in my life, and I'm trying to make the most of every minute of every day. So, when I get down, please just be patient with me because I know things will get better. :-)
