Do you ever have moments when you feel so steeped in your own pain and sorrows that you feel completely isolated - even in a room full of loving Relief Society sisters?
So, you've been working your way through the Sabbath morning, enjoying the time with your husband, as well as the added bonus of having a couple of your grand-daughters attending church with you after their fun sleepover with "Mamaw and Boppa."
When you finally get to your meeting, you sit down and suck it up, thinking, "I've got this." Because you know that as long as the Lord is with you, everything is fine.
But this time, you aren't really fine.
Still, the lesson is great, and one that you need at exact moment. Because as you continue to listen,
your eyes begin to wander around the room to various women dealing with trials and griefs of their own, and then your heart follows your eyes, stopping on every person. The love in your heart for these amazing ladies quickly fills you up, warming you from the inside out.
Then you smile and think, "There you are, Lord. Of course, I knew you were here all along. Thank you."
