Joe just finished his second year of pharmacy school. I guess I didn't have a realistic idea of how much work Pharmacy school was going to be and how little time me and my kids would have to see him. Let me tell you, pharmacy school is hard and time consuming and we hardly ever see Joe.
There are three articles that especially touched me and made me realize the changes I need to make in order to make the next two years of pharmacy school better for me and my three kids.
The first article talked about Jesus Christ's atonement for each one of us. Not only did He die for each one of us, but he wants to enliven us and enable us to do good and become better in ways that stretch us far beyond our mortal capacities.
"We also will pray for the strength to learn from, change, or accept
our circumstances rather than praying relentlessly for God to change our circumstances
according to our will."
The next talk was about gratitude. Instead of being grateful for things, we can be grateful in our circumstances, whatever they may be; we can choose to be grateful, no matter what.
These are three of my favorite talks so far. These are just clips. You can watch these talks and more at www.lds.org.
IT's so nice that your mom could come stay for a while. I loved the gratitude talk as well. Such a good reminder to be grateful for our blessings, even during trials.
