Though Deepening Trials

This song keeps popping into my head lately, 

Though deepening trials throng your way,

Press on, press on, ye Saints of God!

Ere long the resurrection day

Will spread its life and truth abroad.

Though outward ills await us here, 

The time, at longest, is not long,

Ere Jesus Christ will reappear 

Surrounded by a glorious throng. 

Lift up your hearts in praise to God, 

Let your rejoicings never cease.

Though tribulations rage abroad

Christ says, "In me, ye shall have peace." 

These lyrics are just amazing and so true!  There's been a lot of really crummy stuff happening lately, and sometimes its hard to not let it get me down.  But this song tells me exactly what I need to hear when I'm having a tough time! Life is beautiful and there is so much reason to rejoice because of Christ, his resurrection  and his atonement.  Its really hard to stay down on yourself when you remember that you have a personal Savior, someone who knows you and is always there for you.  I find Joy in the gospel, and I find joy in my husband.  Its been such an amazing blessing to be married to Jordan and we are happy everyday just thinking about our future together.  I hope that when the storm hits that everyone has a safe shelter to go to, that everyone can find those special things that bring them joy.
