Three Gates to Open | Thomas S. Monson | 2006

[@deboraholsen2504]

At 26:01 That’s how I feel as a single Mom! 30 years as a single mom twice over!! Divorced twice, I get so weary for all the spiritual and financial and discipline responsibility of my children and I worry about them, though they are doing well in many areas! I want so much for them to do well, make good decisions, and be happy and especially seek out Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ continually!!! I get so tired and weary, doing it all alone! Sometimes it feels more than I can bear, not knowing how well (or not well) my efforts will work out in the future! But, at least for a little while, my dear and beloved prophet, Thomas S. Monson, whom I miss dearly, reminds me that my beloved teenagers are in God’s hands, so I can make it through, no matter how weak and discouraged I feel! And the Lord will visit with me, as he says, when I feel so alone and lonely at night, despite feeling really sleepy and tired from the day and just everything going on! I usually, at this age (50s) fall asleep within 2 minutes, but then I wake up about three times during the night, feeling worried about everything, especially not being gainfully employed, despite having a Master’s degree and teaching credential for 23 years now, plus 10 years of teaching in my own classroom, but despite all this, after losing my job a few years ago while living in Northern California, I’m not valued enough in the Southern California area, where I was born and raised, to be employable, except as a classroom aide! 😟 I swear, I’m not ugly or crude, or anything like it! Somehow, I’m always smiling in Church, so everyone thinks I’m doing really well. I inherited this happy disposition from the pre existence, so it fools everyone! And my children are doing well, so no one knows I’m an emotional mess, and just weary! I’m so sorry to complain, it just feels good to get it out! Well, good will toward you, and I hope you have a wonderful day! Remember that even though it’s difficult, God loves you and your ancestors do, too, and someday you’ll be in his arms, surrounded by His supreme love. If you endure to the end, your joy shall be complete. 💝 I think I can, I think I can…

Oh, dear sister! How have you been? I'm so sorry for all you go through, and yet It's beautiful to see how faithful and hopeful you are. I know Our Heavenly Parents and Savior Jesus Christ love you so much! Keep this beautiful hope, and I hope you can find people to be open with and share your burdens. But even if you don't, remember you're never alone. I love you sister! God bless.

Such a beautiful message. Whenever I listen to President Monsoon it inspires me to turn my life and thoughts toward Jesus Christ. 💕

[@OURDAILYBREATH]

I could’ve put all Pres. Monson’s messages into my journal, so words of wisdom and so inspiring

[@av8ionUSMC]

President Monson, one of a kind! Love, sustain and miss this brother! So many important points and quotes in his talks. Great sense of humor!

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

I became to love and admire President Monson perhaps a little too late in his life. It began when I read "To The Rescue".

[@deboraholsen2504]

Thank you, I’m going to read “To The Rescue”.

[@rethamoore4282]

I love our dear President Monson and miss him so much. He had a way about him that made you feel so loved and understood. He gave hope to all who listened to him.

I couldn’t listen after a while because I did let fear control my life and I did fritter it away

...é quando ainda há muito para percorrer mas muito já foi percorrido. No momento de compreender que quando suas forças se esgotam, não é para desistir , há oposição em volta inevitavelmente, parece tão intensa que, você percebe o que parece ser apenas uma fina ou densa camada que separa a realidade da verdade, as trevas da luz que depois ainda há de se revelar
