Choose this day


I love this message from President Eyring....


How true this is.

I have had a few times in my life where my trials have seemed completely unbearable. I know through personal experience that if I "choose to serve the Lord, this day" my trials seem to suddenly become a blessing. Through the most difficult afflictions I have faced, I have felt an overwhelming feeling of love from my Father in Heaven, if I choose to be obedient to this commandment. I can see things from a different perspective when I serve those around me. I know that through service we will find true happiness. Without it, we are delaying the blessings and love from our Father in Heaven. I absolutely know that, as hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day, if you choose to serve the Lord, this day. I know this to be true because I have experienced it....both ways. Hopefully we can all be a little better about seeking God's help to overcome complacency and discouragement and find joy in serving him today.

I needed this too. I need to watch that message on a weekly basis to remind me of the blessings that come from serving. You are an amazing example to me and I hope I can handle my trials half as good as you handle yours. Thanks for the message!
