President Hinckley

I'm still so grateful for President Hinckley. I have such an adoration for this incredible man, but as time passes I begin to forget the effect that he has had on my life. But then every so often I find a quote that I love that makes me remember what an amazing, inspired man he truly was. And its things like this that make me exclaim, We Thank Thee, O God, for a prophet.

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around and shouting that he has been robbed. The fact of the matter is that most putts don’t drop. Most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey--delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

-Gordon B. Hinckley
