Adam needed Eve and Eve needed Adam, just like my wife and I need each other! I’m grateful for a plan that teaches us to work together. That same plan provides for anyone who hasn’t found their partner, an opportunity to find them in the next life.

NEVER. STOP. TRYING. We cannot afford to give up the fight against sin. Keep pressing forward and keep trying to be a little better every day! The Lord recognizes every effort.
“Once any of us conclude – ‘That’s just the way I am,’ we give up our ability to change…. (Jesus Christ’s) Atonement gives every one of us – no matter our weaknesses, our frailties, our addictions – the ability to change.” – Donald L. Hallstrom

When we can recognize and appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses, without judgment, and are each willing to put in the work in support of building God’s kingdom on earth, God will work miracles through us!

If we would be just a little more humble, a little more receptive to the promptings if the Spirit, and a little more willing to serve, we would be found living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We would lean on Him in times of trial or distress. We would seek Him for instruction. We would be willing to grow. Pride takes. Humility gives and grows.

We aren’t expected to be perfect, but we are expected to try. Not to say we will try, but to put in an honest effort. We will fail and we will struggle, but if we get up, dust ourselves off, and continue to try to be better than we were the day before, that is enough! But you gotta try!
