EPIPHANY!
When it rained on my birthday, I used to tell my friend, my dear Sister Rausch, that it was a sign that "I was His favorite." Whenever we noticed amazing blessings or happy things, we would comment, "See? I am His favorite!"
Yesterday, I got some bad news. For some reason, even though I ordered the countertops back in August, it will still take two and a half more weeks before I get a sink and countertops on these gorgeous cabinets recently set up in my kitchen. I know that I am blessed, but sometimes it can be so darn hard to focus on that and not whine!
Well, back to the "epiphany": this morning I was reading in my scriptures about the children of Israel being selected IN the furnace of affliction. It hit me, "Maybe my TRIALS are a sign that 'I am His favorite'?"
Hmmm...powerful. I think it might be true.
It would definitely help me stop whining as much. Maybe that is what Paul realized when he said, "Bring on the affliction!"
