As I've been reading Conference Talks, I was touched by one by Elder Neil L. Anderson. He spoke of healing. Not in a physical sense, although that is also within the purview of the Lord, but about spiritual healing. When we've done something wrong, and everyone has, we should rightly feel guilt. Sometimes we feel shame. Some say that these feelings are not valid, they are bad and unproductive, and I agree in part. Those feelings are horrible, but they are not unproductive if they lead you to real repentance and a change for the better in your life.
We are counseled to come unto Christ, so that He may heal us. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. There is no wrong that cannot, in the end and with proper steps taken, that cannot be wiped clean. I'm grateful for this promise--because the world needs peace and I need mercy. (That's another quote from one of the apostles).
I'm so grateful for so many things--not the least of which is the opportunity to care for my elderly father. As I serve him, I am brought closer to my Father in heaven. I am lifted up, I am not tired or angry or upset. I am thankful.

I've been wondering how you are! I am glad to hear you are making it through your latest trial... You're a real trouper and example to me. Take care! Hope you have some light in your days. I'm so glad you have a knowledge of the Savior and know He loves you!!
