Today as I was reading a conference talk by Susan Tanner (so that I'd have something to share when I went Visiting Teaching), I came across this quote:
I delight in the examples of those in the scriptures who walk by faith on their earthly journey. Each time I walk with Abraham and Isaac on the road to Mount Moriah, I weep, knowing that Abraham does not know that there will be an angel and a ram in the thicket at the end of the journey. We are each in the middle of our earthly path, and we don’t know the rest of our own stories. But we, as Abraham, are blessed with miracles.I love that! I can see myself reading some of these stories and saying to the characters in the stories, "It is going to be OK. We know the outcome and it all works out!" Certainly, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ (and perhaps--I don't know--some of our family members who have gone before us) can say the same things to us as we go through hard times. What a blessing it is to remember that the Lord has provided miracles for us in the past and that we can trust that He will continue to do so!

What a wonderful thought! Thank you for sharing that!
I agree. Thanks for sharing. You are great. Abby is so cute. We love watching her, even though it is frustrating for you at church. We've been there!
That's a beautiful quote. I love your insight.
