I think I got it...

Ok, ok. Yesterday I had a "moment." I'm good now. I'll always be sad because life is constantly moving and changing, right?! I do feel incredibly blessed to have more than my fair share of "rocks" (and friends who are as stubborn as rocks...) in my life and friends all over the world. Thanks. Anyway, today as I was sitting in Relief Society, I think I got it. (Which is amazing b/c most of church was spent NOT paying attention to the lesson, but trying to get my kids to be relatively behaved:) I digress... The opening hymn was Abide with Me. A hymn I LOVE and have heard a million times, but today it struck a little different and now I get it. For the second week in a row music has brought me to tears... Follow me down this little path. See if it helps... The words say:
      "Abide with me fast falls the even tide
       The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide
       When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
       Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

       Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
       Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
       Change and decay in all around I see;
       Oh though who changest not, abide with me!


       I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour.  
       What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
       Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
       Thru cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!

Ok, I know all of you were WAY ahead of me on this one, but I get it. Even if I don't want change... I get it. That's what life is all about change and relying on the one thing that will never change, the Lord. Now carry on, life's too short:) and life is good. Thanks guys, love you!
