an Ah-ha moment
Rarely-active-girl, who always seems to be offended no matter what anyone does for her, was at it again tonight, except that it was aimed at my daughter. She actually tried to blame my daughter, who has done nothing but bend over backwards for her, for her inactivity. When confronted, she couldn't back it up.
By the time I got home, I was raging mad. I've had it with her and her hateful attitude. I feel there is no hope for her. She refuses to see what an effort EVERY YW in our ward makes on her behalf. She finds offense everywhere she turns.
When I got home, it was already time for scripture reading...and I couldn't find the spirit. I felt sick and angry. While each of the kids took their turn reading...I felt a little twinge that I should say a prayer for comfort and peace. I poured out my heart silently as they continued to read.
No sooner had I ended my prayer, did a calm feeling come over me. I could enjoy the passages we read without being distracted by my feelings of frustration. I felt peace and even joy.
I've been trained since birth to depend on Heavenly Father and His teachings.
Never in my life have I utilized that training as much as I have these nearly 10 months in this calling.
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.~~Albert Einstein
