Yes, mine have been working again.
Recently Sean and I were discussing some people whom we love dearly and how they always seem to have one trial or another going on in their lives. To us, these trials are big ones, but, as we were discussing one family in particular, we realized that if anything bad were to happen to anyone, it would be (said family). (Names have been omitted to protect the innocent). I know that Heavenly Father is always there for us during our times of need and knows what we can handle, but it dawned on me that He is actually there and knows what we can handle!
Really. These people with trials that seem to be hard to me are probably water off a duck's back to them. Heavenly Father allows these trials to constantly come their way because He knows that they can handle it. Heck, they probably need it! I mean, they're probably saying in their spiritual self, "Bring it on!" They wouldn't be able to grow and learn off of one measly trial. No, they are so spiritually strong and secure that they need the heavy duty stuff!
Oh, to be as strong as (said family) and to have the spiritual integrity that they hold. I hope that I could be as they are in the face of these trials, though at the same time I hope to never find out! You are my heroes! Thank you for your sacrifice, willingness to serve, and wonderful example! I am better for knowing you and hope to always be in your acquaintance.
