Though this talk was given in the Priesthood session, there are pearls of WISDOM and counsel that we Sisters can draw upon in Elder Eyring's talk - "O Ye That Embark"...
Ever felt you were so "stretched" in a calling....or even in a role in life....motherhood, being a wife, being single, or a trial that you think you can't be "stretched any farther"....? Elder Eyring addresses this subject.
A line or two: "the more faithful service you give, the more the Lord asks of you." "...He increases our power to carry the heavier load." "Increased spiritual strength is a GIFT from GOD which He can give when we push in His service to our limits." "When those feelings of inadequacy strike us, it is the time to remember the Savior." "We don't do this work alone."
D&C 84:88 "...I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and MINE ANGELS ROUND ABOUT YOU, TO BEAR YOU UP." What a magnificent line..."mine angels round about you, to bear you up." Elder Eyring TESTIFIES of this, also...
I loved the story of the missionary who was given 12 to 13 companions who wanted to go home...NOT one ended up going home...because of the attitude of this one missionary who had received them as companions....."I never had a companion who was failing."
Though, Elder Eyring was talking about individuals still SEEKING the gospel in their lives, I would like to equate this line to US... that YOU and I have been INVITED to "become changed by the Atonement and (made) fit to go home and live with Him (our Father).
