Faith, Service, Constancy

Thoughts from Elder Baxter "Faith, Service, Constancy"

I am in the midst of a few situations that I am walking through only by faith. I wish it wasn't so dark, but for some reason I know it will be "well" just I don't like it. And I too pretend I'm in charge; give that first born in me comfort.

(from another post)

Service does take our minds off our trials if only for a little bit. I know in the midst of some trials my kids and I went and weeded a dear friends yard while they were on vacation. It was while they were gone that they decided to move (bad choice) but when they came back home they didn't have as much work to do. We did it without them knowing until a neighbor told them that there was a big green van (no one else has what we have) and a TON of little kids working. We were found out. But she came to me and was weeping because they didn't know how they were going to get all the things done that was needed to sell the house. It was one less thing. For us it was a time to do service and enjoy each other and forget about our troubles if only for a minute or two.

Keep the faith and keep walking down that dark hall holding His hand and listening to His voice. I have yet to hear of Him steering someone in the wrong direction. ~smile~
