4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows
Abinadi quoted Isaiah as he attempted to show the priests of Noah that all of the prophets had testified of Christ, the promised Messiah. This prophecy of Isaiah is a powerful foretelling of Jesus' life and sacrifice. Isaiah knew that Jesus would be despised and rejected by his own people. He would be wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. He would be crucified with sinners and would be buried in the tomb of a wealthy man.
But I love this short phrase -- he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. When Mom died, I was burdened with grief and overcome with shock. I still can hardly believe that I can't just pick up the phone and talk to her like I did every few days. But in my grief, I felt the presence and comfort of the Savior. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. I love him. He is my friend.
A place to celebrate all things family. A place to share, remember and dream.

Words of the Wise
We live in a time of turmoil. Earthquakes and tsunamis wreak devastation, governments collapse, economic stresses are severe, the family is under attack, and divorce rates are rising. We have great cause for concern. But we do not need to let our fears displace our faith. We can combat those fears by strengthening our faith.

Through the entire time that mother was dying, I felt that comfort.That everything was not only OK but that is was somehow strangely as it was supposed to be. He is always with me...I feel him. He puts people in my path to love and help me along. Thanks for being those friends.
