"As children of God we are somebody. He will build us, mold us, and magnify us if we will but hold our heads up, our arms out, and walk with Him. What a great blessing to be created in His image and know of our true potential in and through Him! What a great blessing to know that in His strength we can do all things!" (Marvin J. Ashton, "In His Strength", Ensign, Jul 1973)
I need to read this often. There are so many days I feel so small, weak and powerless when I look at all the pain and problems there are in this life. Especially after a long, emotional day like today has been, I love the way this quote makes me feel -- that I just have to (as he says) 'hold my head up, my arms out and walk with Him.'
I want to. I need to. And His strength is there for me when I do.

Thank you for this, Jan. You are such a great example, often when I need it most! I hope your recovery is still going strong.
