Pondering Quotes

Going back to sitting with the Lord at the mount and giving all control to God. I am reminded of a message our prophet, Thomas S. Monson spoke of during this last Sunday afternoon talk.

"We live at a time in the world’s history when there are many difficult challenges but also great opportunities and reasons for rejoicing. There are, of course, those times when we experience disappointments, heartaches, and even tragedies in our lives. However, if we will put our trust in the Lord, He will help us through our difficulties, whatever they may be. The Psalmist provided this assurance: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

How perfect could this be, I felt like he was talking to me. Its better to weep in the night to have joy in the morning.

Another quote, A warrior doesn't run from pain... A warrior gets things done.

I find myself running from pain. Why do I run? How many layers are there to grieving? My Dad is with me, I feel all the time. He even talks to me. So why the grieving then? Why the running?
