one challange in common.

With all the differences in our lives, we have at least one challenge in common. We all must deal with adversity. . . . It is in the nature of our being human that comfort gives way to distress, periods of good health come to an end, and misfortunes arrive. . . . The arrival of suffering or the loss of material security can bring fear and sometimes even anger. . . . The very opportunity for us to face adversity and affliction is part of the evidence of [Heavenly Father and the Savior’s] infinite love. God gave us the gift of living in mortality so that we could be prepared to receive the greatest of all the gifts of God, which is eternal life.”

Henry B. Eyring, "adveristy"

i have severely neglected my spiritual health recently and finally read all the daily gems sent to my inbox everyday. this quote really hit me hard and due to the current economic times and present issues i have really been reminded me that we {as human beings} have many challenges in common - we are all in this together.
