Serenity

The scriptures warn us about the challenges that will surely come in the last days. So did Grandpa. Sometimes when you are doing the best you can, but things aren't happening the way you want them to, remember Granny and Grandpa are still praying for you.

"I still haven't put it all together yet...but you can take as much time as you need." I echo these words from Stacy Miles.

Comfort, tranquility, peace; these may be the terms we would use to define the composure and confidence of serenity. "We cannot predict all of the struggles and storms of life...but as persons of faith and hope, we know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and the best is yet to come."

And for me, that's real serenity.

 Verily I say unto you all: Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations;
 And that the gathering together upon the land of Zion, and upon her stakes, may be for a defense, and for a refuge from the storm, and from wrath when it shall be poured out without mixture upon the whole earth. Doctrine and Covenants 115:5,6
Read Elder L. Tom Perry's talk "Let Him Do It with Simplicity."
