Reality Check

I love this quote and wanted to share it with you. Gordon B Hinkley was the most recent prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints before our current one, Thomas S Monson.


Gordon B. Hinckley

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling burst of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”




I think my favorite part is that children grow up to be people. That makes me smile and remember my kids are indeed just people.
