Ok, normally I am not such a cheese ball, but I wanted to put this quote on my bog, so that I could read it when ever I felt the need. A lot of you have already heard it, but it is really awesome. It was just the little reminder I needed. This came into my life thanks to Shannon Sorensen. Thanks, Shannon!
"Those of us who have been around a while-and Elder Wirthlin and I have been around for a long time-have recognized certain patterns in life's test. There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadmess, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us-to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds:
'The best is yet to be.' We can't predict all the struggles and storms in life, not even the ones just around the corner, but as persons of faith and hope, we know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and the best is yet to come."
-Elder L. Tom Perry
