Like a Broken Vessel

I can't tell you how much I love this talk.  I have watched friends and family struggle for years with depression and anxiety.  I personally have had my ups and downs (literally for those that know me) with anxiety.   And then after I had my first child, nearly drowned in Post Partum Depression for 8 months.  On a good day I could get my teeth brushed, and that was all I could do.   I've watched the stresses of work and exhaustion take it's toll on loved ones, bringing them to the brink of giving up.  Elder Holland says it as it is, but also sees the eternal perspective of our mortal challenges and offers hope.

Talents

Because you will find, as a general thing, that talent is diffused through the many and rarely combined in single individuals; and it only needs opportunity in order to be developed.

Lorenzo Snow

Quote of the day

If you are set on a course of faith and activity in the Church, stay on course and keep your covenants. Continue forward until the time when the Lord’s blessings will come to you and the Holy Ghost will be revealed as a moving force in your life.
~Boyd K Packer

Come Join with Us

I listened again today to Elder Uchtdorf's most recent talk "Come, Join with Us".  I can't tell you how inspired the prophet and apostles are.  As I listened to and then read his message again.  I found the lessons that the Lord intended for me. It is amazing how God can answer our prayers through others so directly.  I received my answers and guidance, but only the Lord knows your heart.   Please listen or read this message and find the answers that the Lord  has for you.  Please feel free to comment on what part of this message was written just for you.
