At church today, the topic was “Enduring to the End”, a phrase and topic I have heard about many times in my life as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Today’s talks though, seemed to finally get through to me.

Enduring is not suffering. Enduring is doing your best with what you have in life and being able to say that you did your best. It also means that you believe that the Lord will take up the slack, the things you can’t do, even after you gave it your best shot. We endure the good times and the bad times, so “enduring” is not suffering. It is “experiencing and making the most of” the things we are presented with in life.

I love it when I have these little “a-ha” experiences, whether it’s at church or school or home or anywhere. It’s definitely worth blogging about!

Peace,
