Adversity

The other night in our nighttime prayer Dell thanked the Lord for this adversity.  I think my jaw dropped as I was not quite sure I was on board with that statement.  It is true though, that I completely understood what he said next.  That was the fact that our love has deepened for each other  to a degree that is hard to even explain.  Our love and admiration for our children and who they have become (and the sacrifices they have made for us) has deepened in the same way.  Adversity does something to all of us.  Usually for the better.  I am still working on being grateful for this one though......I suppose it will come.

  3. I think there are a few of your followers and supporters who understand that as well. Elders Maxwell and Oaks are master teachers of that principle.
