In her wisdom, she chose the hard life because it also brought the greater reward. Each of us made a similar choice when we sided with the premortal Christ and chose to come to this earth. We chose to have hardships in our lives because the prize is worth the price; how blessed we are then to have opportunities to reach our eternal goals. It can be hard to have that perspective during times of trial, but perhaps that is just another dynamic part of the challenges we face-- to learn to be grateful for the things that afflict, inconvenience, annoy, hurt and teach us.Dallinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545929299258364935noreply@blogger.com
