New Year

I can't say that I am sad to sees 2009 gone. It was a hard year for our family in so many ways. In the past I haven't looked forward to the coming year with as much hope for the future as I am this year. But things (hopefully) can only get better. The one quote that keeps coming to my mind is "Come what may, and love it!" from Elder Wirthlin's talk from conference October 2008. Hopefully there will be many things to love in the coming year!!

I found this quote on another blog and it really made me think about how it applies to my life and how I can improve upon what I have been given each day to receive more the next.
President Brigham Young said that the Lord “gives a little to his humble followers today, and if they improve upon it, tomorrow he will give them a little more, and the next day a little more. He does not add to that which they do not improve upon” (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1941], 90

With the Lord's help I CAN improve. I just need to be still enough to listen, humble enough to accept, strong enough to do what He asks of me.
