At church today a previous member of our Releif Society spoke. She spoke about all the problems her and her family had had over the past year. I knew of some of it but not all of it. Then her husband got up to spoke and mentioned his wife had forgoten to mention a few other things. Then their son spoke about faith in primary. I was so touched by this family. They weren't complaining about their lives they were just saying that bad things happen and that we must press forward. It is hard to explain just how touched I was by their talks and their faith.
I looked over our past year and nothing comes even close to what they have gone through. We have had our own struggles but compared to others it is so minor.
My mother in law has her Gmail status as "I am so Thankful for my Blessings.". She has has had a hard few months as well. Sometimes we just need to slow down and count our blessings and remember what we do have and not focus on what we don't. I know I need to take my own advice.
