Opposition in All Things

I loved this weekend. I always love General Conference Weekend. As I listen to the talks and counsel this session I heard "Opposition in all things" said many times. After every session (every 6 months) I always try to sum up the message. A year ago I felt it was missionary work, in April it felt to me like it was all about family. And this weekend, I feel like the message was loud and clear, at least in my mind and opinion. Opposition, it's going to happen, trial s will come but do not fear, as long as we are faithful, live the commandments, seek after good things we can and will come out on top.

I believe in order to progress and become more Christ like, we have to face opposition. In my life I can look back at all my trials and take something good away from it. I am going through some right now and I am not sure what the purpose is, but as long as I Pray and keep the faith I know I can overcome and be better for it. Something that I do fear and have a hard time with, is watching my children struggle through their own oppositions, and not wanting to fight the battle for them. How grateful I am for prayer, for the fact that I know, I am not ever alone, in my worries. I am grateful for the teachings of Christ and the Gospel and for The
plan of Happiness. My hope is that i can teach and convey to my kids not to live life in fear of the unknown, but to live life with faith in knowing that they can weather the storm and come out on top,better than they were before.
