So Much Saddness

I've just been thinking about all the sad things going on to individual people that I know.  Of course everyone has trials, but major sad things happening just seems to be more contagious these days.  I'm just so tired of it.  No wonder so many people are depressed.  It wears down on me too.  I want to help everyone, but instead draw deeper into myself because I feel too overwhelmed.

I know I need to focus on the many wonderful things that people are doing for each other.  There are so many good, happy, honest, and caring people out there.  If only we could all be like that.  I suppose these people get bogged down too; but are peaceful inside despite it all.

I was telling the kids today about how the Holy Ghost is sometimes like a butterfly.  If we are too busy or loud, the Holy Ghost will just flutter away.  But if we are still and quiet inside he may just gently rest upon us and feel us with peace and inspiration.  Christ has power over the fiercest tempests, so of course he has power to calm all of our turmoil.  I just have to go to Him and humbly ask for it.
