* Today at church one of my friends spoke on faith. She talked about how when she was young, she had a good understanding of the gospel, but didn't know how to make it meaningful in her life. She decided that she had to have faith in faith, which I really liked, and she was able to develop more faith as she relied on the Lord to help it grow. She has five young children, and her husband has been a truck driver for the last six years, spending an average of four days a month at home. It's been rough all around for them. He recently lost his job, though, and even though it is a big trial, she feels comfort through her faith that this is the path her family needs to be on. She mentioned several things that they have been able to improve on in her family because of this event. Things are not settled, but they're better. I appreciate her example and willingness to share.
*A brother also spoke about faith. He shared a quote about the pioneers, and appreciated that the speaker acknowledged that the pioneers had their challenges, and we have our challenges, and their trials are not easier or harder than ours--they are distinct for our times--but the uniting factor is that the challenges all require faith to overcome. That is a good reminder.
It was a delight!
