The quote that taught me this week:
Our individual experiences may not always be unique, but they are always authentic. God will even take into account our perceptions of, as well as our responses to, our trials. For those of us who do not, for instance, find claustrophobia a challenge, it is difficult to measure the terror that comes to those for whom it is such a challenge. Thus, a friend may seem to struggle unnecessarily long before finally prevailing with regard to a particular principle of the gospel. But for that individual, the struggle was real enough! We need, particularly, to understand with kindness those who are asked to go out to do battle again on a familiar field–on the very battleground where they have already suffered defeat several times. Yet some of our most difficult victories will occur on new terrain–like Joseph’s in Egypt–when we do not have the equivalent of a “home court” advantage. We must remember that, while the Lord reminded the Prophet Joseph Smith that he had not yet suffered as Job, only the Lord can compare crosses!” –Neal A. Maxwell, “Taking up the Cross,” Fireside, 4 January 1976 (emphasis in original)
Scripture that spoke to me this week: 3 Nephi Chapter 22 – just the whole thing. I love it when this happens. Just love it.
The one thing I still cannot talk about this week: Abortions and the now open funding of them with tax dollars.
What I’m looking forward to most this week: Valentines Day (FYI my favorite Holiday!) and the opening of Confessions of a Shopaholic.
