A friend of mine posted this quote, and it sort of took my breath away... especially the last few lines. I thought, this is something I need to remember... every single day!
"Some might ask when faced with such suffering, how could Almighty God let this happen? And then that seemingly inevitable question, why did this happen to me? Why must we experience disease and events that disable or call precious family members home early or extend their years in pain? Why the heartaches? At these moments we can turn to the great plan of happiness authored by our Heavenly Father. That plan, when presented in the pre-earth life, prompted us all to shout for joy. Put simply, this life is training for eternal exaltation, and that process means tests and trials. It has always been so, and no one is spared."

And one more, just because I love Sheri Dew! She says things in the most profound ways!
"Life is a test. It is only a test - meaning, that's all it is. Nothing more, but nothing less. It is a test of our convictions and priorities, our faith and faithfulness, our patience and resilience, and in the end, our ultimate desires. It is a test to determine if we want to be part of the Kingdom of God more than we want anything else."

Hmm.... I wonder if there's a learning curve?! I sure hope so! ;)
