Stained Glass Windows

. 

I was at the gym on Saturday and noticed a quote that was on one of the boards. It read:

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
                                                                     Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I usually don't pay attention to the quotes but this one stuck out to me. What a wonderful imagery that this author paints. I love spending time talking with friends and reading their blogs. Every once in awhile I will come across other people's blogs and find myself drawn to read their stories. It amazes me to read of all the trials and conflicts that people face every day. What is even more amazing is their strength and courage to get through, the light from within. So many people that I know and don't know are going through some rough times and I find extra strength to push through my trials as I see them find the blessings in their lives and rise above their problems.

I'm grateful for the help I have from friends and family and especially my Savior as he truly is the light from within. I know that my knowledge and testimony of him and the church is what gets me through the day!

So I want to thank those of you who are fighting for the light from within to overcome the darkness inside! I want to thank all of those Stained Glass windows, the ones I know and don't know!
