Divine Inspiration

Today I stayed home from church to rest. While Josef and Sofia were gone I sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV. At first I searched through the guide for something to watch and when I discovered nothing that interested me I turned to the DVR to see what was recorded. I discovered that we had several sessions of General Conference recorded that had yet to be watched. I hesitated for a moment and then chose the Saturday morning session from this past April. During the first several talks I had a hard time paying attention, but then Elder Kent F. Richards gave a talk entitled The Atonement Covers all Pain. I listened intently knowing that I was meant to hear his inspired words and it felt like he was speaking directly to me. I don't know whether my pain is going to get better or worse in the coming weeks, but I know that I will be strengthened to bare up my afflictions and will find joy along the way.
