We were able to hear and feel so many wonderful and even personal messages
as we attended and listened to the recent LDS General Conference. We will most
likely feel the desire to share moments and messages from that conference that specifically and literally
reached right into our hearts, taught, comforted and strengthened those hearts
and prepared us more for this adventure! The following is Elder David A. Bednar, an
apostle of the Lord, helping us to put things into perspective and purpose and in return boosting our sustaining power... towards the
end of his message and short video he states that the Lord's "yoke is easy and his burden is light"
We personally feel this to mean that his yoke is easy because a yoke is obviously shared and as we have allowed the Lord to share in and be a consistent partner in our challenges as well as joys and in return every ability and effort is magnified and thus becomes easier and....His burden IS light, not necessarily meaning "not heavy, or difficult" but light in the way of truth, intelligence and enlightenment- We know this to be true more than ever. We are so thankful for a living prophet on this earth today as well as apostles of the Lord providing continual guidance, counsel, and love directly from the Lord!! We have posted two different ways to experience his talk in conjunction with this post- -one is the link to the full talk that Elder Bednar presented in conference, which we were definitely urge you to take the time to listen/re-listen to.
(i would suggest just to copy and paste this link to the browser) It is FULL of wonderful uplift and perspective!...the second is a very short video message from the very last bit of his talk- If you do not have the time or even desire right now to watch and listen to the full length message, please take about a minute and a half to listen/watch the short one... He speaks words directly from our hearts and so beautifully articulates why this extremely unexpected and inconvenient adventure in our lives is not only manageable but considered by us to be sacred! We LOVE you all for caring about us and what we are experiencing in our lives!!

ReplyDeleteRon, Steph and family, I need to let you know how much yesterday affected our people here at the office. Obviously where we live so close the deputies asked if I knew you; and at the news the tears couldn't help but fall. Staff meeting this morning was met with concern and reverence that these guys never feel cause its such a part of their daily routine. They were so touched by your family and the love in your home. From the Sheriff down, much love and concern was expressed for you and your family members. We all send our love - Barry and Lisa P
