We all have a
different 100%. We each have different emotional and physical limitations. This
means that the 100% you can give because you have a chronic illness will look
much different than the 100% another woman can give whose challenge is not
chronic illness. Every scenario in life has both a negative side and a positive
side. We progress faster when we focus on the positive and minimize the
negative. So, please remember that whatever you can contribute is still
valuable. All contributions are never equal but they are all equally important.
We often forget that
the temple's purpose is to also serve the needs of the living. We tend to focus
on work for the dead after we have done our own endowments. But, there are
times when we, the living need to communicate more closely with the Lord --
then it is totally appropriate to dress in our temple clothing, forgo any work
for the dead and sit in the Celestial Room read the scriptures, pray, ponder
and listen for the Lord's answers. In doing this I have been able to heal from
a deep emotional hurt and truly move forward unencumbered.
