But instead of a quick catch up on the blog, I need to do a quick catch up on the house and laundry. So I thought I'd share a great quote / article I came across yesterday.
The quote from this article that I just L O V E D says -
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, said during his April 2012 general conference address:
“We are not perfect.
“The people around us are not perfect. People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way.
“Nevertheless, we must let go of our grievances. Part of the purpose of mortality is to learn how to let go of such things. That is the Lord’s way.
“Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive”
I positively love this! How true it is that some days some people just seem to annoy us. Or the many times in life when people disappoint us. I do believe that part of our journey in life is truly to learn how to let go of such things!
The entire article is about a German pilot, who 40 years after WWII, contacted a woman who was the widow of a fighter pilot that he had shot down. He was calling her to ask her forgiveness. You can read the article here. It's a good one!
Happy Monday! xoxoxoxoxoxox
