TIP OF THE DAY

Life getting you down?
When I was teaching Early Morning Seminary in Dallas, we taught the students that the answers to all of life's problems can be found in the scriptures.
Personal example: on 5-16-04 I was feeling stressed. My mother was kind of a challenge and I felt a little overwhelmed. I opened the scriptures, looking for some encouragement or something.
I read, Mosiah 7:23 "And now, is not this grievous to be borne? And is not this, our affliction, great? Now behold, how great reason we have to mourn."
My situation was so minor compared to the one I was reading about that it actually made me laugh out-loud. Helped my perspective.
