Physical and emotional pain...


I guess its about time that I shared something worth talking about. I came accross a situation where I am torn between 2 evils...Physical or emotional Pain...whatever the reason ehind it, I struggle with being in agreement to which one is better. But I guess if I had to choose, I would rather take the Physical pain than emotional pain. Physical pain heals...as time goes by, it tends to be forgotten...but then again, it leaves an emotional effect...in time, after so much of the Physical pain...leads to one huge chunk of emotional trauma...drama and all the weight that comes with it...Having said that...I would choose to I guess avoid both than have one that leads to the other...

Forgiveness is hard to give but it is better to give it away if it means that I am free from the Physical and emotional Pain that comes with not giving it away. I am greatful for one thing that I have learned on my mission, and that is the blessing of the atonement of Christ. I guess without it, I would have not realized that whatever type of pain I will be dealing with in this life...I have Jesus Christ's example and love to be thankful for because I know that I will be Ok...

My Son has been a strength to me the last 2 1/2 years because I have seen him go through tests and a surgeries and doctors, and recoveries that has brought him so much pain and emotional discomfort, but after each surgery, each doctor's appointment, each needle poked to his finger/thigh, and all that good stuff...he fights back and hard...strong, and valiant. He comes out better and strongger. It has been a great couple years being one to stay with him and learn from his example.

I know I can be strong because my 2 yr old son is...
