"Life is like an old-time Rail Journey- Delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the lord for letting you have the ride."
-Gordon B. Hinckley
Lately I have found myself only seeing the sidetracks, delays and cinders. When in reality I have been blessed with experience, growth and patience. I can easily feel sorry for myself when things aren't going perfectly in my life. Losing a dear friend in an accident, and Christian's sweet mother to cancer definetely have proved to be trialing. I need to be grateful for the strength and valuable lessons that come with these trials. I've learned that life can change dramatically in a month, days, even seconds. This month threw it's rocks at me. Next month, and every month after, I will use my new armor of strength, and experience during any jolt in my journey, or delay on my track.
I will be thankful for the ride.
