So
I read scroll ten a week ahead of schedule, and I think that this one has influenced
me the most of all the scrolls. I constantly think about praying to be guided
instead of praying to receive. I also have started to do the same for my loved
ones who struggle with certain things.
We are not here just to play. Heavenly Father wants us to learn, and to learn, we must struggle. I recently watched an LDS produced short thought where kids have two options. They can eat a chocolate chip, or they wait to receive something that has been beautifully wrapped in a box. Some of the children make ways of distracting themselves, but you know that always on their minds is what’s in the box.
After a while, they open the box to see a giant cupcake! Oh, the joy and happiness that has been well earned. I think that is the secret to real happiness; work, patience, suffering and hope. Without those things, we would not grow, or appreciate the things, skills and experiences that we have been given.
Hope and with the Lord will help me to accomplish any righteous aspiration in my heart. I just have to have the vision of happiness.
