You see, I’ve known more than one person who uses “honesty” as a club. As a friend of mine said, “Honesty without tact is cruelty”. But happily, your article was a completely different and refreshing take. Witnessing the small mercies of the Lord is amazing!

Please ask your relief society president for some help. She could find maybe a sister or two in your ward or a couple of young women who can come over Sunday mornings to help get your kids fed and dress for Sacrament. While you get yourself ready. Maybe even help by sitting with you in the pew to help with the kids. Maybe even someone to take them for a couple of hours so you can rest a little.

You don’t have to physically do it all by yourself. I know as an empty nester, I would love the opportunity to help but unfortunately I live in Missouri. But I have to believe there are others like me who would jump at the chance to help.

Back in the day, I was a pregnant and a single mom with young kids so I know how challenging and exhausting it can be to do these things single handedly. It was help from sisters and young women in the ward that got me through and allowed me to feel the spiritual peaceI needed from being at church.

Often times the way God answers our prayers is through the hands of others.

God bless!!

I was often lonely and carried a heavy load, sometimes resenting his time away from us. It took me a few years to really support him by trying to feel the Lord’s love for our ward members and praying for them. As I did that, I learned to love them more and I was sad when he was released! I’m so impressed at your insights and endurance during such an intense season of parenting. May God continue to bless and strengthen you! ❤️
