To the casual observer, Katie would seem as strong as ever...but to her dad and I, we have noticed some changes in her overall strength and stamina. Although, she is still doing remarkably well and going strong (considering all she has gone through). She is having some tummy trouble, but we are medicating for that.
Scott and Nathan spent the better part of the day yesterday, digging holes and cementing in a play structure in our backyard. So, today we are glad and excited that Katie and Conner will soon have a slide and swings to play on. We are grateful for the Christmas "gift" that helped make this possible. Hopefully, they will enjoy playing on this play structure, for years to come.
Elder Robert D. Hales has said, "To receive the Lord's comfort, we must exercise faith. The questions Why me? Why our family? Why now? are usually unanswerable questions. These questions detract from our spirituality and can destroy our faith....I have come to understand how useless it is to dwell on the whys, what ifs, and if onlys for which there likely will be given no answers in mortality....We need to spend our time and energy building our faith by turning to the Lord and asking for strength to overcome the pains and trials of this world and to endure to the end for greater understanding." (Ensign, Nov. 1988, 14-15).
