A lot of truth in words

We have been having a few trials at our house lately and for those of you who know me know that I try to be the fixer. I have done a ton of soul searching and praying over the last few weeks trying to find ANYTHING that would help the weight on my shoulders. Well, I found a quote that made me feel like there was hope! I know everyone has trials, but it has been pretty easy lately for me to have the pity party. Sometimes I feel like I've had my fair share... I know, pretty selfish... but in the end I am so thankful that I have a testimony of Christ and that I know I have a constant companion in my life. It helps me remember that this too will pass.

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal- is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey with delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinder, and jolts, interspersed occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
