Today as I worked on the houses I once again was thinking how I could seriously beat the crap out of some people right now. Anyway, one thought that has been on my mind lately is the scripture that says "To whom much is given, much is required."
I wonder if the opposite is also true. To whom less is given, less is required. Either way you understand it, it just doesn't seem fair. It doesn't seem fair that if you are not as blessed you don't need to do much. It also doesn't seem fair to say that if you are not as blessed as others that Heavenly Father just doesn't expect too much from you.
I don't know, but of this I'm certain, we as a family, have been given much. Consequently, much is required of us. I keep having to remind myself that these two houses Mike's old partner left us to deal with, is a trial and that there's no blessing until the trial of our faith. It's been a while since I've felt that "but when is it going to end?" or "Are we there yet?" feeling, so it's time to go through it again. In any case, I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
I sure hope so.
