Just a thought...

"The Savior's invitation is clear and direct, and importantly for
us, it is constant: 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden. . . . Take my yoke upon you, . . . for . . . my burden is light'
(Matthew 11:28-30). This is the Lord's promise to me and to
you.

"My prayer for each of us is that we will remember when the
Lord has spoken His peace to us and has encircled us in the arms of His
love. And just as important, will you, if you haven't felt that love
for a while, seek to see it and feel it as you go about the ordinary tasks
of your life. As you do this, over the days and months and years of your
life, the memories of those interactions with the Lord will become sweet
gifts to open a second time--or many times--to bolster
you when life is difficult.

" 'Peace I give unto you,' the
Lord promises, 'not as the world giveth, give I unto you' (John
14:27). Peace. Strength. It is what we long for and what is possible. We
only need to turn toward His reaching arms."
