Inspirational Thought for the Week

The end of each semester is always a challenge to me, as if compressing so much learning into small chunks isn't already difficult, ending that whole process always seems to be the hardest.  But at the same time, it is also a time that I can feel  great achievement, so hopefully everybody feels great about themselves and the progress they are making, but if not, remember that there is a yang for every yin, or for every sadness, there is a joy.  A scripture that helps remind me of this principle is 2 Nephi 2:11-12, with a few tweaks to come at it from another angle, paraphrasing is mine:

...there is [balance] in all things.  If not so...neither [good nor bad] could [happen to us]...all things must needs be a compound in one...[otherwise] there would have been no purpose in the end of [our] creation.

So, hopefully in this time of potential sadness and difficulty, remember that we are entitled to balance by the immutable laws of the universe and the wisdom, eternal purposes, power, mercy and justice of our God and Father above.  Best of luck to all of you!
