Even when you feel that way.......

You are NOT alone. I've thought a lot about this lately and this thought from President Faust brings me comfort.

President Faust said. "In His first words to the people on this continent, Jesus of Nazareth Himself poignantly spoke of the bitter cup the Father had given Him. Every married or single soul has some bitterness to swallow. Having drunk the bitter cup, however, there comes a time when one must accept the situation as it is and reach upward and outward....I have now lived long enough to know that, whatever our situation, our troubles melt and disappear like frost in the morning sun when we dwell upon our blessings rather than our disappointments. No matter how pessimistic one's view may become of the times and the seasons, we can always fall back on special friendship, on faithful, personal love, and on simple, true dealings in our own personal lives." President Faust's words still ring true: "You are NOT alone."

So today I will dwell upon my blessings and will be all the better for it.
