The incongruity of your own predicament....

Today as I was driving up to Logan, I was listening to a book on Cd by Pres Eyring and it is one of my favorite books, "Because He First Loved Us." One of the chapters that I love is called the "Law of increasing return." I love this talk because he talks about learning to laugh at the incongruity of your own predicament and who has more predicament than someone who is giving much and getting little in return. It was truly exactly what I needed today. He told about his DAd how he always gave more than he received. I think that is something I have forgotten lately is that law of increasing returns. The Lord knows what seeds we are planting and working at day by day and even though we do no see the harvest in a couple of days, years, or even in this life, the harvest will be plentiful. I think that is something we must all remember is that even if we do not see the harvest in this life to not stop on working and waiting for it is in the process of working and waiting that we are changed. I am grateful for the Lord's servants who help to lead us and guide us and help us to see things as they really are.
