More Gratitude for the Atonement

Natalie's post got me thinking about the Atonement. It reminded me of another C.S. Lewis quote that I really love : “God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain”.

What a priceless gift we have been given. Yes, there will be pain, but we can return to Him without stain. Thanks to our Savior and His atonement, it's possible. And I"m grateful.

I have to say I am seriously impressed with your blog Jan. In your first post you were reluctant to even start blogging with saying you didn't have anything interesting to share(SO not true). I read through your posts each day and they are all amazing and insightful. You were born to blog! You and Natalie! Good thing she talked you into it :)

Of course add me, Mel. Wow. And Holly, thank you! I still don't think I have a lot to say -- but I am sure finding that I enjoy saying it! :) I love reading everyone else's!
