How can we love days that are filled with sorrow? We can’t – at least not in the moment. I don’t think my mother was suggesting that we suppress discouragement or deny the reality of pain. I don’t think she was suggesting that we smother unpleasant truths beneath a cloak of pretended happiness. But I do believe that the way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.
If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness.
- Learn to Laugh
- Seek for the Eternal
- The Principle of Compensation
- The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way.
- Trust in the Father and the Son
- Sometimes the very moments that seem to overcome us with suffering are those that will ultimately suffer us to overcome.
every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.
