Enjoy the Ride

We had a great quote on the back of our ward bulletin yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing!

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed.
"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." Jenkins Loyd Jones, June 12, 1973

The quote went wonderfully with my lesson in Young Women about keeping a journal. There was also a talk by President Eyring about keeping journals in the lesson. There is a YouTube video of that talk that I think is worth sharing too: http://www.youtube.com/MormonMessages#all/59A88EF0AD2EBBF7-all/1/DF01BQAcj8E

I am grateful to the Lord for letting me have this ride. I hope that I can start to recognize more and more the blessings He has given me.
