Great Quote from a Great Leader

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around and shouting that he has been robbed. The fact of the matter is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

-Gordon B. Hinckley

I love this quote! It's so true and I think you are a good example to me of this! I read a quote recently that said something to the effect of... testimonies are not developed during times of trial, but though everyday things that build your faith so when the trial comes you can hold on to that testimony! Thanks for being a true example of that! Sure love ya! When are you coming up?
