Tonight I had quite a kick in the stomach. I found out some long time friends were divorced and it brought back a lot of tender feelings. Recently I have been wrapped up in the dating scene and very much enjoying myself and the NEW relationships I have been cultivating. But, when I heard that such close friends were divorcing, the feeling came so strong to me what incredible power the adversary has over the hearts of the Children of men, that is almost took my breathe away. The associated heartache is so incredibly overwhelming, I can't bear the thought of anyone I love having to endure that!
If I could do any one thing for those that I love, it would be to keep them from ever feeling the enormous devastation that comes from the disillusion of an Eternal family unit.
I pray sincerely for anyone involved in the process. I pray for the children that they will feel loved and not hold themselves responsible for what is happening around them, I pray that they will feel the love and influence of the Savior in their lives, I pray that they won't be adversely affected by the horrible circumstances that they find themselves in and most of all I pray that they will learn from their experiences, and strive to never have that same occurrence in their lives.
For the Divorcing parties; I pray for humility and peace in your hearts, I pray that you will know you are not alone, and that you will allow the healing power of the Atonement to truly lighten the burden you are carrying.
I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my Life, and I am thankful for the Beautiful plan of happiness which was prepared that we may overcome this Earthly experience and once again dwell with our Heavenly Father.
Be kind to each other, think of what really matters, and Live the Gospel!
