Lighthouses

"Whenever we are inclined to feel burdened down with the blows of life, let us remember that others have passed the same way, have endured, and then have overcome. When we have done all that we are able, we can rely on God's promised help.


"You, my brothers and sisters, have access to the lighthouse of the Lord. There is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no mariner so lost, no gale so strong as to render useless the lighthouse of the Lord. It beckons through the storms of life. It seems to call, 'This way to safety; this way to home'" (Three Gates To Open, BYU Devotional, 14 November 2006). 


I have become a firm believer that some trials that are given to me are not just lessons that I need to learn. But lessons that I need to share to help others learn. When I read this quote my mental light bulb went off telling me that I can't forget this saying. So what better place to keep all my life lessons than our family journal.
