Just when you think.....

“Imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it.”–Jeffrey R. Holland

You are a beloved child of God. Handle others with tenderness and care, and remember that we are all learning our way through life.


Wow.  I found this quote just as I was fuming mad at the high school.  Once again, something with Alex has been royally messed up.  Not the first time, I can assure you.  I was an inch away from totally losing it and calling a teacher (and the principal, and the school board...and....) when I found this quote.  The Lord works through many avenues.  He let me get mad.  He let me cry.  He let me scream about how mad I was.  Then, he led me to this quote by Elder Holland, reminding me that someone at the high school made a mistake, yes.....but, people are imperfect.

And by the way......He reminds me in that gentle way, "You're not so perfect yourself".  Point taken.  Perhaps I'll handle the situation a lot better tomorrow than originally planned.

Blessed by his forgiveness, guidance & strength.
