Philosopher and spiritual leader Neal A. Maxwell wrote, “God loves us and, loving us, has placed us here to cope with challenges which he will place before us. I'm not sure we can always understand the implications of his love, because his love will call us at times to do things we may wonder about, and we may be confronted with circumstances we would rather not face. I believe with all my heart that because God loves us there are some particularized challenges that he will deliver to each of us. He will customize the curriculum for each of us in order to teach us the things we most need to know. He will set before us in life what we need, not always what we like. And this will require us to accept with all our hearts--particularly your generation--the truth that there is divine design in each of our lives and that you have rendezvous to keep with destiny, individually and collectively.”

That Elder Maxwell sure seems to know what I need to hear :) My favorite quote from him goes along with yours: "Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail."
You must really be close to the spirit and know when to share what. I had a rough day and have been an emotional wreck - thanks for the simple reminders that our challenges are for the better, we just need to endure. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I do like that. What a great quote. Leave it to you, Care-Bear to find the perfect quote for the moment we are in.
