Finding comfort and direction

Sometimes the members of my family really hurt my feelings - they say things that are mean and hurtful or do things that are rude and disrespectful.

Never before has it been like this and Mark and I have spent a few months trying to figure out "How or What is the BEST way to handle this."

I have felt useless, unappreciated and quite honestly like my family would be happier if I were just not a part of it.  I'm the one that makes them go to bed on time, I'm the one that asks them to do their chores, and I'm the one that deals with most of the disagreements, bad actions, etc. around the home.

Well, today at Stake Conference we were blessed to hear some wonderful words of advise and some good council and examples of others that have had to continue through challenging times.

I just hope and pray that through all of this our four children will stay close to the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and feel the LOVE of the Savior in their lives.  That they can feel his extending hand as he reaches to influence each and every one of us for good and bring forth blessings of happiness and joy in our lives.
