Katie's tummy hurts on and off during the day, and at times she says her legs hurt. She has been falling down more, and yesterday she told me she couldn't walk when she woke up from her nap. It just seems to come and go though... Overall, Katie has done surprisingly well, considering what she is going through. She seems happy and is still very playful, for which we are very grateful!
President Harold B. Lee said, "There is a refining process that comes through suffering. I think, that we can't experience any other way than by suffering... We draw closer to Him who gave His life that man might be. We feel a kinship that we have never felt before... He suffered more than we can ever imagine. But to the extent that we have suffered, somehow it seems to have the effect of drawing us closer to the divine, helps to purify our souls, and helps to purge out the things that are not pleasing in the sight of the Lord" (The Teachings of Harold B. Lee, 69-70). Isaiah said: "But now, O Lord, thou art our father, we are the clay, and thou our potter: and we all are the work of thy hand." (Isaiah 64:8.)
Today I am glad for a "potter" who has blessed us so abundantly! I know our Heavenly Father loves us and is aware of our every need. I have faith and trust in Him.
