Hang on the walls of your mind the memory of your successes. Take counsel of your strength, not your weakness. Think of the good jobs you have done. Think of the times when you rose above your average level of performance and carried out an idea or a dream for which you had deeply longed. Hang these pictures on the walls of your mind and look at them as you travel the roadway of life.
--Attributed to Whistler by Sterling W. Sill, "Great Experiences," Ensign, June 1971, 43
This has been a wonderful and marvelous journey. I have learned so many new truths. I have had amazing experiences. What has struck me the most is the knowledge that has filled my mind. Truths have been confirmed to my heart. I have grown in so many ways.
There is a Chines proverb that says - Jade must chiseled before it can be considered a gem. Well, I am jade and Christ is the Master holding the chisel. He has chiseled away so many rough spots. He has polished and polished until I shine.
I feel a difference in my thinking. I know He is there. I know He loves me. I know He lives. I look forward to continuing this journey. The joy is really in the journey and mine is really just beginning.
