Angels on Earth

~One close friend is going through the grief of losing two small infants in the past year or so...
~Another close friend just lost two dear family members in the past few months and is about to lose a close friend to a rare type of cancer
~A few of my friends struggle with the ups and downs of Single motherhood and raising a family on their own
~Another friend confided in me about her spiritual struggle with the gospel
~Yet another friend shares with me her struggle and challenges of feeling defeated as a mother
~ A few friends are dealing with rocky marital problems and possible upcoming divorces
~Another friend just lost her dear friend to suicide
~Yet another friend also just attended a funeral of a young man who committed suicide as well
~Another friend is dealing with constant financial hardship
~And I know there are many who are seeking employment

~As I contemplate my own problems in my life and the challenges I have overcome, i am struck with wonder and awe and the way life challenges each one of us. We all have strengths and weaknesses, problems and chaos...It is how we choose to look at our situation that makes all the difference in the world.

I am so grateful for the each and every opportunity I have had to serve others. I didn't think that through my deep sorry and discomfort that serving would be one of the main desires of my heart. I feel that Heavenly Father has put this deep desire inside me.. to look for opportunities to lighten the burden of one of his beloved children. Isn't that what the Gospel of Jesus Christ is all about anyway. How we can lighten the burden of our spirit brothers and sisters in some way shape or form. Look around you, Pain is everywhere.. and we all need one another. We are not as alone in our problems as we think we are. God has provided guardian angels to watch over us.. I feel inspired to be an instrument in the masters hands..
