Wrestling a Boulder.

My family has been in town this week which has been pretty stinkin awesome. It's nice to have everyone home and be together. That being said they come to church with us. Meaning my nephews come to church. Meaning church is crazy and fun! I helped out taking the twins out during sacrament because as Jake would say it; they were being "stink pots".

I love Sam and Luke. They make me love being an auntie even more so. They are so cute...but they're solid, chubby boys. One move from them and you're going down most likely. It's crazy stuff. It's basically like wrestling a boulder.

Weird analogy I know. But today I couldn't help but think how we in our lives can be wrestling boulders. It's a load we will carry but it can be hard at times. It's rough but we do it. We know it's worth it so we do wrestle it. But in the end who wins?

That's up to you. You can either set the boulder down and walk away or you can keep trying. A boulder can be a trial, temptation, or even something that makes you happy. We're all carrying our own imaginary boulders. But do you set yours down and walk away? Or do you keep carrying it because you know that even though it's hard now, it will be worth it in the end?

I know that if we all wrestle that boulder, then someday it'll be a small pebble, and we will win. We can get over the hard times.

Now I'm certainly not calling my nephews big or a burden by any means. Although I do believe in any situation we can make something of it. I admire all mothers and women. They are truly amazing to constantly go on each day and make something better of it. They know how to carry their boulders and not complain. I love that.

~I know life is Full of Smiles when we wrestle our boulder with faith. Life isn't easy, but it's sure worth that heavy load.~
