Joy's thoughts and things

Words to remember...

Thoughts: I'm a mother, so that gives me the right to worry, that's my job.

With the unrest in the world, the slumping economy, natural disasters, the attack and breakdown of the family, and every other challenge that faces us in our lives, I find myself concerned, (to say the least), about my children and my grandbabies.

In April of this year, President Thomas S. Monson, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, said these words:

Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rain may pour down upon us, our knowledge of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. There will be nothing that can defeat us.

Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith

Things: I made up this little pattern and am working on one for each of my children and one for myself to always remember those words.
