Look to the Light

The Savior in the garden bore

The sins of every soul

He could not quit, because He knew

Only He could make us whole


So when it seems like life’s too hard

And you cannot press on

Be like the Savior, think ahead.

Look to the light and move on


He knows your pain and agony

As you struggle on this earth

But every tear will be returned

Ten times what they are worth


Tears of joy you soon will shed

When you reach your eternal home

If you just endure to the end

And look to the light and move on

“The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude.” (Elder Joseph B. Worthlin, "Come What May, and Love it" General Conference, October 2008)

And, I couldn't resist, cause he is so stinking cute!

BTW - I love your new poem! I remember when we were sitting in my family room and Elder Worthlin was speaking ... that quote really did stand out! I love how you took that and made a poem! I have such a special talented lil' sis!

I love you!

Look at those two beautiful girls and their wacky pumpkins. How fun! And your little Tyler is a chunk-o-rama! I'm sure you got quite a few squeezes in there though! How fun to still be able to see him grown and get to know him. Lucky mom all around!
