Momma said there'd be days like this

"Faith is the balm of Gilead." (Elder Nelson). Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and asked, Master I have brought unto thee my son, which have a dumb spirit: And wheresoever he taketh him him, he teareth him and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to the disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him; and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming, and he ask his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it have cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him; but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things ARE possible to him that believeth. And straighway the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord I believe; HELP THOU MINE UNBELIEF. Help thou mine unbelief is my pray many times. I don't know the meaning of a lot of things. Hope, enduring to the end is a good thing as well. James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. That's a very good thing. (understatement of the year). I cried through most of Relief Society today. The lesson was on "Words of Hope and Consolation. For rude! I had the right clothes on. All black! Argh! Mayhaps the teachers touched a chord in me. Aw well, Momma said there'd be days like this.
