A powerful realisation

"To find real happiness, we must seek for it in a focus outside ourselves. . . . No one has learned the meaning of living until he has surrendered his ego to the service of his fellow man. Serivce to others is akin to duty, the fulfillment of which brings true joy. "We do not live alone---in our city, our nation or our world. There is no dividing line between our prosperity and our neighbor's wretchedness. Try as some may, we cannot escape the influence our lives have upon the lives of others. Ours is the opportunity to build, to lift, to inspire and to lead" (Thomas S. Monson - Church News, May 9, 2009, p. 3).

Todays thought.....

We are told that we will never be tempted or tested above that which we can bear - that is certainly very comforting and heartwarming.

The only sobering thing about that whole statement is this question I pose;

How much can we bear?

We are stretched and tested in ways that will allow us to seem or feel we carry the weight of the world upon our shoulders and may feel so alone. But we are not. Never give up, never stop, give your best and be your best. CP
