If you chance to meet a frown...

Do not let it stay.
Simply turn it upside down
And smile that frown away.

Why is it that the most basic and simple Primary songs always pop in my head...

Last Sunday in YW the lesson was on overcoming opposition. Although I didn't teach the lesson, I really wanted the girls to understand that just because you pray for something you really want, or even something you think you really need and your prayer isn't answered doesn't mean that Heavenly Father doesn't love you. Sometimes His eternal perspective is just a little clearer than ours is... Who would have known that I would need that lesson probably more than they did. Just like from the musical Wicked, it sometimes seems that "no good deed goes unpunished." (If you haven't seen Wicked you should really go see it! It is amazing!")

Anyway, I already knew it before, but I have since learned it again, that without the sorrow and heartache and without the trials we surely wouldn't appreciate the good days or the many blessings that are in our lives. I am glad this week is over and I am glad that I have been able to realize the many blessings in my life. Plus, now I know what mistakes not to make again! Looking forward to next week...
