Me

Amy is such a great wife! 

 

I love the way she is so patient with me. As I struggle to cope with the challenges, obstacles, injustices, disappointments, heartache, and downright failures that are the essence of this mortal existence, she does her best to be patient and understanding. She puts up with my ranting and raving about how unjust, disproportionate, and evil this world is. She even tries to cheer me up, (that's NO small task) which only shows what an eternal optimist she really is.

I had a very hard day yesterday and it continued into this morning. Everything seemed to align against us, and me in particular. Bad news was everywhere. Disaster seemed to pop up around every turn. I even started trying to do odd jobs around the house so that I could obtain a small sense of accomplishment to hang on to. But every start ended in failure. Every try was a catastrophe. But my wonderful wife stood beside me, trying to buoy me up, until I was feed up and stormed off to work. She was there with me to the end. That couldn't have been easy.

So when I get to work, I get out my mp3 player and my headphones, turn on General Conference and start to listen. Within an hour, I've been reminded of my Heavenly Father's love for us, of the wonderful gift of the Atonement of Our Savior, of how important reading the scriptures and prayer are, of how little the things of this earth matter, and of how much the eternal things mean!

Suddenly, everything has changed. The problems haven't gone away. But their priority has changed. Their importance is different. New, greater, more peaceful priorities have taken over. And I can now see how wonderful my wife is, again! With my myopia corrected, I see how loving she is, how sweet she is, how patient she is, and how dear to me she is!

I Always Love My Wife!
