As Latter-day Saint women, we are practically obsessed with anxiously engaging ourselves in good causes. Maybe it's subliminal??
Glancing through the hymnal last Sunday, I noted that as sisters in Zion, we who are called to serve are all enlisted to go marching, marching forward because the world has need of wiling men to all press on scattering sunshine. We wonder if we have done any good in the world today because we have been given much and want to do what is right, keep the commandments, press forward with the Saints, choose the right, and put our shoulders to the wheel going where He wants us to go. However, as the morning breaks high on the mountain top, truth reflects upon our senses, and while we still believe that sweet is the work, we also realize that we have work enough to do ere the sun goes down. And thus we ask Thee ere we part, where can we turn for peace?
Amen.

Cute. It was very creative. Glad you're back to writing blogs again. We missed you. Thanks for the birthday card, by the way. That was incredibly sweet of you guys to remember!
Love it, love it, love it! Thanks for sharing!
I always chuckle when I contemplate the possibility of singing "Where Can I Turn for Peace" as a Mother's Day hymn.
Good job with the hymn paragraph. I've made note of it. It's a keeper.
On the serious side - being overly 'anxiously engaged' may be causing some LDS women to experience clinical 'anxiety'. I have never heard of so many women having anxiety and depression as has been the case in the past few years here in Utah.
I am glad that I have been able to make contact with you again. What a blessing for me.
