Phoenix! How are ya doing? Been thinking about you, and hoping there were some improvements this last weekend! General Conference next week, and I am looking forward to hearing what we will learn about family, and keeping our M's. I remember, the P had a lot to say about that in 2004. It gave me a lot of motivation to keep trying at that time. Check out "The Women in Our Lives", Ensign November 2004. Of course, what the P says, applies to the men in our lives too. For the benefit of some on the bb, here is a part of that address, which really stuck out, for me:
"The cure for most marital troubles does not lie in divorce. It lies in repentance and forgiveness, in expressions of kindness and concern. It is to be found in application of the Golden Rule.
It is a scene of great beauty when a young man and a young woman join hands at the altar in a covenant before God that they will honor and love one another. Then how dismal the picture when a few months later, or a few years later, there are offensive remarks, mean and cutting words, raised voices, bitter accusations.
It need not be, my dear brothers and sisters. We can rise above these mean and beggarly elements in our lives (see Gal. 4:9). We can look for and recognize the divine nature in one another, which comes to us as children of our Father in Heaven. We can live together in the God-given pattern of marriage in accomplishing that of which we are capable if we will exercise discipline of self and refrain from trying to discipline our companion.
The women in our lives are creatures endowed with particular qualities, divine qualities, which cause them to reach out in kindness and with love to those about them. We can encourage that outreach if we will give them opportunity to give expression to the talents and impulses that lie within them. In our old age my beloved companion said to me quietly one evening, “You have always given me wings to fly, and I have loved you for it.”"
Stay positive! Pray, pray, pray, and fasting might not be a bad thing to do, either.
As always, wishing you the best, Phoenix!
