heavy heart

My heart is aching for this family today. Patrick, Ashley & Preslee Sullenger.

Complete strangers.

This little girl is a niece of one of my sister Hollie's friends. She is being laid to rest today after a tragic drowning accident. I have been following her story for a little over a week now. I have shed many tears on behalf of this family I don't even know and they have reminded me of many important things.

Time is not for wasting.

I need to be better.

Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us.

He is in control.

There is a bigger picture.

I keep thinking about this quote from Ashley's blog,

"One thing we have learned….that in the end all we have to really give is our will.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell rightly said: “The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”
