Bearing One Another's Burdens

---------------------------------------------------

"[We all face] dangers and hardships. . . . [but]

there will be 'angels round about you, to bear you up' (D&C 84:88).

They will sustain us as we carry our earthly burdens. Often in our lives,

those angels are the people around us, the people who love us, those who

allow themselves to be instruments in the Lord's

hands.

"President Spencer W. Kimball said, 'God does notice us,

and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he

meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the

kingdom' ("There is Purpose in Life," New Era, Sept. 1974,

5)."

There is a beautiful song that was performed by Alabama. It's called (I believe) "Angels Among Us." Goes pretty much with what the "gem" states. Angels all around us. Could be a relative, friend, neighbor. If you have never heard the song I highly recommend downloading it.

All people will endure obstacles in their lives and will be helped through those days.

Carrying a heavy load of burdens will become lighter as you help others. A prayer for someone who needs as much as you, will uplift you everyday.
