“This earth is not our home. We are away at school, trying to master the lessons of "the great plan of happiness" so we can return home and know what it means to be there. Over and over the Lord tells us why the plan is worth our sacrifice - and His. Eve called it "the joy of our redemption." Jacob called it "that happiness which is prepared for the saints." Of necessity, the plan is full of thorns and tears - His and ours. But because He and we are so totally in this together, our being "at one" with Him in overcoming all opposition will itself bring us "incomprehensible joy."” KnowsTryingMeanHomeSchoolEarthTogetherJoyLordPlansSacrificeTearsMastersReturnLessonsOvercomingSalvationPreparedSaintRedemptionOppositionThornsJacob Author:Bruce C.

“Life is a school, a place for us to learn and grow. We, like Adam and Eve, experience 'growing pains' through the sorrow and contamination of a lone and dreary world. These experiences may include sin, but they also include mistakes, disappointments, and the undeserved pain of adversity. The blessed news of the gospel is that the Atonement of Jesus Christ can purify all the uncleanness and sweeten all the bitterness we taste.” WorldMaySchoolPainLife IsJesusGrowsChristSinMistakeGrowingSorrowTasteNewsJesus ChristAdversityBlessedDisappointmentBitternessAdamAtonementLoneDrearyAdam And EveGrowing PainsContamination Author:Bruce C.
