A Family Home Evening Thought - Good-Things-to-Come

Good-Things-to-Come
I have been pondering the events of the past week, and the tender mercies of the Lord extended to Katherine as she has coped with the problems arising from the flooding of her home, with Rob in Iraq, and family all living in other states. How grateful we are, as her mother and father-in-law, to all who have helped her. Our prayers have been with her as she as done all that is needful. I found this video and thought of her, and of each of us as we face challenges. We never know when, in an instant, our lives will be changed. Katherine didn't get up Wednesday morning expecting to have everything change. Mortality is a test, and, as with all tests, we don't get to see the questions in advance. We have to go forward, with faith, knowing that when we are prepared, we need not fear. Love, Mom

Family Home Evening on Sunday Morning

This morning, after scripture and personal study, I checked emails, and found a wonderful video link from a friend. As I watched, the Spirit whispered to me that I (as are each of you) am like the bear cub - threatened by the adversary who would have me stopped in my progression towards the day I return to my Heavenly Father and Mother. However, just as there is hope for the bear cub, there is One who stands ready and waiting for me to call for His help. That call will not go unheeded.

I am grateful for talented nieces and nephews also, who make wonderful videos sharing the same message. This one was made by Matt and Julie for a cottage meeting at their home recently.

The message is the same - come unto Christ, who will provide us with the peace, clarity of thought, rest, joy, and love we need to overcome the world.
I testify this day that He lives, and is waiting for us to come unto Him. When doubts, fears, temptations, invitations of the world, and adversity assail us, we can go to Him, we can call out to Him at our darkest moment, and He will answer. When the world turns its back on us, He is there waiting for us.

Love, Mom
