I just read an article from an Ensign by Elder Bednar describing Zion's Camp (July 2017?). He goes over the many ways it seems that the expedition failed.
When a skeptical fellow Saint (who had turned down participation in the Camp) asked Brigham Young what he had gained from the "useless expedition," Brigham replied, "All we went for."
It made me think about my days that start out with a certain intent or plans that don't seem to come to fruition, despite my best efforts to follow the Spirit. What is my attitude? One of failure? But what if I gained all that I went for...in God's way instead of my own?
Hmmm...
