I am a black and white person, right and wrong. I love lists, being organized, and decluttering. I take in a lot of what is happening around me and can feel the energy. It takes me longer to warm up to people, to trust them; and even longer to warm up to people who have lost my trust--I relate to the poor Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice". I am a black and white person, but lately am living in gray.
I need to make sense of June 8, 2014 but it doesn't. I need to find acceptance of what happened but I can't. I am stuck.
I love this quote from Sis. Burton: "All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ." I hope that you can find peace, Amber. I really do. We can never know the reasons why some things happen in this life. But we can trust in a loving, all-knowing, glorious Heavenly Father who loves us beyond measure. The Atonement is real. And I believe that this too will be made right. Love you.

"It is good to remember that you are always a child of God. This knowledge will carry you through the most difficult times in your life and will inspire you to accomplish remarkable things. ...I think God knows something we don’t—things that are beyond our capacity to comprehend! Our Father in Heaven is an eternal being whose experience, wisdom, and intelligence are infinitely greater than ours. Not only that, but He is also eternally loving, compassionate, and focused on one blessed goal: to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life."

ReplyDeleteI was going to include another quote, but Peggy said everything perfectly. So please know you and your family are loved, you are not alone, and all will be well--though we may never be able to comprehend the "why" of our trials.
