Sunday was an interesting day this week as we had a kind of strange regional conference--it was just like regular church except everyone met together from various wards. What impressed me most is the Elder's Quorum lesson.
The teacher was speaking on the power of covenants from a talk given by Elder Christofferson (two conferences ago?). He began by saying that his four year wedding anniversary was coming up, which definitely turned a few heads as the vast majority of us are single. He then related how he had carefully dated this woman for about a year, then proposed and got married. After a month, they were driving and got in an accident. It was a miracle that he survived, but his wife did not.
I pondered how difficult this would be. I long for a happy marriage and the joy therein. I cannot imagine finally gaining my sweetest dreams only to have them taken, and me miraculously saved. I would ask a lot of whys, and perhaps become angry and bitter for being left here to walk alone. This good man was an example of great faith in the midst of some heavy trials.
