Thankful

Don left early to go to the college to get caught up in one of his classes.  I got a text telling me to look in my email.  As he was studying his scriptures he emailed me these:  The lyrics to the song made me cry. I am thankful for a good husband.  I am grateful that he thought of me today during his scripture study and that he felt prompted to send me these quotes and the lyrics to that song.

“To any who may be struggling to see that light and find that hope, I say: Hold on. Keep trying. God loves you. Things will improve.”
 
“Because Christ’s eyes were unfailingly fixed on the future, He could endure all that was required of Him, suffer as now man can suffer except it be unto death….because He knows that for the faithful, things will be made right soon enough.”
 
God and His Son Jesus Christ “sustain us in our hour of need – and always will, even if we cannot recognize that intervention.
 
“The thoughtful nature of love teaches you to engage your mind before engaging your lips.”
 
Lastly, I will share the words to a song from the musical Saints and Pioneers. I have shared these lyrics with you before but felt that I needed to share it again.
 
You have nothing to fear from the journey,
Though your way may be burdened by thorns.
For the Lord will be with you each step of the way
As you travel with faith through the storm.
And you've nothing to fear from your trials,
Though they may seem too heavy to bear.
Take His hand and He'll lead you gently along
And you'll find peace and safety there.
There is nothing to fear from the nights that are lonely,
There's nothing to fear from the cold!
There is nothing to fear from what might be tomorrow,
For heaven is with you, And angels watch over His fold.
You have nothing to fear from the journey,
Though your body is tired and worn.
For the Lord will send angels to lift up your arms
And He'll carry the burden you've born.
And you've nothing to fear from your suff'ring,
Nor the grief you've been called on to bear,
Take His hand and He'll lead you gently along
And you'll find peace and safety there.
