Follow up to "Just Thinking"

Ok, so I know the post was a while ago, but I just wanted to share an interesting story about it.  The night I wrote it I was obviously upset, but trying to be optimistic.  Well, the next night was Monday and I decided to go to FHE at the WC3 ward for the first time since I've been up here.  I very rarely go to FHE and even more rarely go for the lesson, but, there I was.  And interestingly enough it was all about what I had written in my blog the night before.  Everything about you being the only variable you can control and deciding whether or not to be happy.  We talked about agency and how the choice is ours to react positively or negatively to what happens to or around us.  It really hit me as a confirmation to what I already knew, but was starting to forget.  Heavenly Father knows us so well, and He knows what we need, even if we don't ask for it.  I certainly didn't.  It amazes me that through all the mistakes I've made and yes, sometimes keep making, He keeps loving you, me.  That He never gives up.  He still loves us even when we don't feel like we deserve it.  I don't know that I'll ever be able to fully comprehend His love, but I am grateful for it.
