From Necessary to Impossible

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
                                   Francis of Assisi

I came across this quote and thought it was pretty great.  How often do we feel unsure of where to start, how to accomplish our task effectively and keep our sanity?  Read this quote again and if I may add a little something to that, turn to your Father in Heaven...Heavenly Father knows what each one of us is dealing with, where our hearts and minds are and what we are capable of.  He is there and so wants to help!!! Because He loves us and has given us our agency, he will  wait patiently for us to come to Him and seek His help.  Please remember that you are not alone.  Ask for help from those around you, those serving with you, friends and leaders.  I have found that most of the time people are very willing to help and offer ideas/suggestions that allow us to see things from different perspectives.  When we do what's necessary and possible for us and couple that with seeking divine help we really are capable of the impossible.  We can help bring to pass small miracles that change lives.  Each of us can be the person who helps instill trust, shows love and builds and strengthens testimonies of those around us.  One person can make a huge difference...so be that person!  Do what you can, serve with a happy heart, trust that you aren't alone and know that what you are doing matters!! 

Thank you so much for all of your time, love, service and sacrifice.
