When life gets tough!


I was pondering today about the trials in life that we ALL get to go through during our time here on Earth............. Some of us "get through them" without too much hostility and anger and woe is me type thinking.. Some of us crack easily and "give up full of despair" thinking "we can just NOT go on" We blame others, we turn our own guilt around and put it on someone elses shoulders.. We lie, cheat and make others think our problems are because of someone else......

What a sad, lonely life we would have if we chose the latter.. We need to put on the Armor of God and walk, head up high yet kneel on bended knee, Praying for strength to get through the trials and tribulations.. Be staunch in our callings and put Satan aside, instead of becoming weaker in our Testimonies grab the trial, learn to love them and move forward growing stronger daily and dealing with all that is dealt to us. I am tired of people who continue to Blame others for ones actions, to make out that their life is better than ours, that they don't understand line again! here comes the WOE IS ME again...

Men... honor your wives and Wives ..respect your husbands.. IF they are doing what they should be doing .........."ALL that Heavenly Father would have us do".. Then this is a time to draw closer to one another, closer than ever before.. To help strengthen each other, Build each other up and not knock each other down.. Accept our own faults and repent of our own wrongdoings.. Quit passing the book without reading and learning from what is on the pages....... Go the extra mile "To do unto others as you would have them do unto you."..
Our children are the ones that suffer along with us.. the air full of emotional stress, the speaking in loud voices that scare our children, the belittling of each other, the disrespect towards one another.. How do we expect our children to grow up healthy and strong, both in mind and Spirit if we their tutors don't follow counsel of those that try to teach us all about the great gifts from God that are offered..

Put our selfish feelings aside and love one another, show our children the affection and love that grows abundantly in our homes.. Make our homes a safe haven for those we supposedly love and cherish..

Sundays are NOT about going to Church in our pretty Sunday dresses and fine twine suits.. faces adorned with smiles from ear to ear..... just to return home and start the maliciousness and back biting all over again.....

We ALL go through trials and it is often those closest to us that we continue to hurt..
Time to STOP and take a long lingering look at Who we are... What we are.? ...

Today is the time to START afresh and move forward, REPENT when we need to and STOP being fake..
These are the last days and we need to encircle each other and not leave anyone outside!
We are all given the gift of being a Shepherd.... There is something in ALL of us that we can offer to others and TODAY is the time to START!

Wow........... I feel better now that I have put down my thoughts.. I think they call it THERAPY!!!!!
I Pray we can all try to have faith and move forward with love in our hearts for those we live with... Tone our voices down and raise our Spirits up...
Thank you............
