The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

One of my favorite times of the year is the General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I especially love this bi-annual conference in the fall because its a great kick-off to the holidays.  It gets me thinking more about what I'm thankful for, my family, and most importantly, the Savior.  There were some wonderful talks, but this is one that stood out to me:
 
He told a story about his dauther-in-law and her five year struggle to get pregnant after the birth of her three children.  I related with so much of what he said.  I especially related with the fact that she had to completely turn her will over to the Heavenly Father before she felt peace.  I had a very similar experience when my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. 
 
I'm grateful for examples I can relate to and I'm grateful for the peace my Heavenly Father allows me to feel despite difficult circumstances. 
 
Please take the time to read it with an open heart.  I know you will feel something that is just for you!
