Feelings of Peace to Remember during Difficult Times

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

"One night as I was praying and crying [after my mother's

death], I felt comfort fill my body--suddenly and powerfully.

The feeling restored me; it gave me peace. It did not last long physically,

yet it was immensely comforting. I knew what it was--the

Lord's love encircling me and granting me peace and strength. But just

as important, that moment has remained in my memory as a sweet gift to

unwrap and remember when life is difficult.

"Sometimes, too, the

moments of love and the resultant peace have come unexpectedly and when

there has been no need--no particular problem or issue I have

been facing."

Topics: peace, discouragement, loneliness, love

Feelings of Peace to Remember during Difficult Times

This was exactly what I experienced when my mother passed away a few months ago. And it is very important to remember this significant blessing because many recollections are brought to light by various family members and it helps to keep things in a spiritual focus.

It's as though you are forming a new relationship and it is this blessing that bonds you forever. I think of it as similar to a Temple sealing...Families Forever.
