I just read Sister Reeves' talk from the General RS meeting, and had forgotten she said this: "My dear sisters, the Lord allows us to be tried and tested, sometimes to our maximum capacity. We have seen the lives of loved ones—and maybe our own—figuratively burned to the ground and have wondered why a loving and caring Heavenly Father would allow such things to happen. But He does not leave us in the ashes; He stands with open arms, eagerly inviting us to come to Him. He is building our lives into magnificent temples where His Spirit can dwell eternally." She was talking about the Provo tabernacle being burned down, and now it will be a temple. Also, have you read President Uchdorf's talk from the priesthood session?<br /><br />Anyway, just want you to know I'm thinking about you and am so sorry to hear you've been having such a rough time. I hope things continue to look up. I love you!Lisa Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292528482342311496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899894682659638642.post-20582295930605485082013-11-09T03:56:08.298-07:002013-11-09T03:56:08.298-07:00What a powerful lesson you have taught in this pos...What a powerful lesson you have taught in this post.

Our darkest hours and purest moments of reflection often become the light of hope for so many others that haven't discovered yet or needed reminding. Thank you.
