Saudi Arabia? An extra special thank you!!!
Your work blesses many lives. I thank you!
Thank you so much for all your efforts; I hope your move was a success and you are settling in ok.
Thank you!
Thanks for all the hard work you do!! Is there any way you could pin your comment to the top? I’d really appreciate it if you could.
When my 6 year old Daughter (Megan, ) was taken back to Heaven, from a bad car accident, The only thing that really helped me was turning to the Lord and letting him heal me, Love my Savior so much🙏🙏♥️♥️
I love your lessons. I don’t know if anyone will see this but I think it’s important to acknowledge that before we can move on we have to grieve/mourn the loss-and that timeframe looks different for each person. So don’t feel like something is wrong with you if you can’t move on yet. I had a major loss 6 years ago and just now am beginning to be able to get back to things-sometimes. 🙂 be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Don’t judge. Sit with them. I know that’s what Jesus does. He sits with us until we can catch our breath and get up. No rush.
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes. It’s very hard to let go and it’s an individual process. Unique to the person in the process. Each person at her or his pace.
Love you my friend!
When my baby, Matthew, started having seizures just a few months old, we were thrust into a lifetime of unplanned broken dreams. I was told he chose to walk that path and chose me to be his mom. I had faith enough for him to be healed, but was told it was not Matt's desire. He chose to fulfill this mission. I prayed and asked the Lord to change my heart from resistance to joy. Before I got up from my knees, he had changed my heart and am grateful for the perspective he gave me...even though there were incredibly difficult times, there was also indescribable joy. Being his mom has been one of the hardest things I've been called upon to do. Then, at the age of 22, Matthew returned with honor from this mission to return to heaven. I am blessed to have been his main mission companion in this life. ❤️
Yours is a precious testimony of God’s loving grace. Thank you for sharing your story with Russ.
My husband of 50 years passed through the veil and into the eternities last year. This loss is so hard on me; despite all my knowledge of eternity and the kindness and love of my family. My dearest Russ and I shared such a beautiful and wonderful love. I am so grateful for our loving relationship and true friendship. My loneliness knows no bounds. This lesson is helping me to ask my Savior to help me carry this sadness, and trust in God as I pour out my heart to Him. Thank you
I love the combination of lamenting and trusting. My 23 year old daughter died in a car accident just a week and a half ago. I am going through a lot of lamenting, but also a lot of trusting. I don’t know why God allowed this to happen, but I trust Him. I know that He would never let this happen unless something amazing is going to come from it. I’m so grateful for my Savior for allowing me to lament and for carrying my burden when it’s too heavy.
I’m so sorry. I pray for your peace and healing ❤️
I cannot thank you enough for this lesson. Tonight I had reached my breaking point spiritually as I'm caring for my dying child. I was on the brink of losing all of my faith. I absent-mindedly turned on this video as I was crying my eyes out and was done begging God. Your experiences and words touched my heart and brought me back to be willing to pray again and listen. I was blessed with comfort and understanding far beyond my compacity and my soul has finally been consoled. I pray that the Lord will bless both of you for your service and testimonies freely given to a worn-out mom.
❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry you're going through that. God loves you so much, and He will console you and your child as you traverse this road.
I cry with you. I know this pain. I cared for my daughter as she was dying from cancer. She passed in May. It’s been so hard. You are not alone.
@@SarahBaird-io2tn Thank you for your kind support.
@@sandibeek I am so sorry that you have been through this trial. Thank you for caring.
My Mom and Dad presided over a mission 20+ years ago, and my Dad came home with stage 4 prostate cancer (agent orange induced from Vietnam). It was so sad and so hard to see my strong, wonderful Dad live his last 9 months. My sorrow was great. I cleaned out a small perfume vial and collected my tears over those months as Dad was dying, and then I tucked that vial in his hands just before the casket was closed. I like knowing that my Dad holds my tears in his hands. I have another vial ready to use for my 95 year old Mom when her time comes.
This is so tender. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow, that is special
God bless you and your channel from a faithful Catholic
Thank you for your kindness and acceptance of all.
Thank you for this lovely comment! Unity not division!❤️
We love faithful Catholics, Baptists, Methodists and any other faithful Christians. So happy to have you!
6:30 - The sorrow I carry isn't something I can share, but I'm grateful to see other people sharing. 🙏🏼 Though God doesn't take it away, He will comfort us... sometimes through other people.💙
My mom said to have a good cry., cry it out then move on with the Lord
I have taken care of a diabetic for 42 years. Hundreds of near death experiences. Worse one happened July 28, 2009. We count our blessings for each day we have together.
I just have to say how much I love Don't Miss This! David and Emily always bring the scriptures to life for me. I know all too well what it is to lament. To say that my life has not turned out how I had hoped would be an understatement. My husband and I have five children, three sons, and two daughters who are all adults now. All three of our sons walked away from the church and many of the values that we had tried so desperately to instill in them from birth. We taught them the best we knew how. We taught both by word and example. We watch as the consequences of some of their choices come and it's so hard. One of our sons took his own life when he was 23 years old. This would not have happened had some of the choices been different that lead him down the road to depression. This may not be the case for everyone suffering from depression, but for him, it was the case. Through the grief and pain, I had to give this burden to my Savior. There were times when I know that he carried me because I was ready to collapse from the loss of my precious boy. I am frequently overwhelmed by the unmet expectations of life and continuous trials and burdens. Yet through it all, my testimony remains solid. I know that because of the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ, my family will be forever. Emily, It sounds like you and I may be close to the same age. I have many baskets that I bought as a young mother that are similar to yours.
I can relate to you in many ways. God bless.
The basket, dear Emily how could God put so much sweetness, goodness and wisdom, faith, optimism, creativity and intelligence in one person. You are just amazing. The basket ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’ve learned for myself that the Lord gives us challenges that we cannot handle without Him.
Thank you so much Emily and Dave for this beautiful lesson it has stirred up some tender mercies and loving kindness from our Father in Heaven and Savior. After coming out of a very dark time in my life this was my Psalm, I felt to share it here in case anyone else might benefit from it, it guided me to the life he had planned for me.
Trusting In The Sunshine
How have you done this? How could you know?
My heart felt so broken and bitter and cold
But you knew the sunlight was within my reach
Watching me, patiently waiting to teach
My heart couldn’t take it, I felt I would fall
Past all redeeming I built up a wall
So tired from fear and from pain
But you called to my heart so I could begin again
It must have hurt to see me feeling so broken
I know you watched earnestly for me to be awoken
Knowing that your light would bring confidence and peace
They left the moment I doubted my faith to believe
When I wanted to run and hide from my shame
You helped get my head and heart back in the game
Showing me as you always do
That your love is enduring constant and true
Faith became the anchor, hope my guiding star
To lead me gently back into your loving arms
You offered forgiveness, which then set me free
So now I can be who you know I can be
Your love is a lighthouse, steady and strong
When the waves of doubt are dragging me down
My rescue is certain, the storm will subside
When I offer my heart and let you be my guide
Beautifully written from your heart. ❤
@@terresaburnham5587 Thank you so much♥️
This lesson is exactly what I needed to hear. My heart had the burning feeling I get just before
I bare my testimony. I know I was listening to pure truth. My husband died last October. In the months after his death there were so many times when I couldn’t feel the Savior’s love and comfort. Now I know why. I hadn’t let him into my heart and asked him to help carry my burden.
I was reminded of when the Lord was with me every step of the way through the unchartered waters of a particular phase in my life. I held on to the iron rod. Wrote in my journal every morning after prayer and scripture study. Whatever i wrote each morning was like a revelation to get me through that particular day. Once i got the impression of not seeking any human help and trust in the Lord; strangely that day and the following days, colleagues who never volunteered to help in 15 years, came asking if i needed help. Although i was comforted and so tempted, i refused graciously. But the Lord was with me through every step and the most difficult part which i thought would last a month, he resolved it all in a week. I was asked to let go completely and leave it all in his hands. It was so scary but i did it with prayers and fasting and trusting Him. Thats when the miracle happened. I feel so tender every time i think of this big Help. And i can truly say it was the Lord who helped me, not any human being.
I always feel that the current lesson is the most relevant for me but this lesson is truly the most relevant -- this idea of lamenting and not feeling guilty about lamenting but allowing lamenting to help me work through the trial. That maybe going through the lamenting part of the journey will be the thing that helps me find the "hope in the morning" that I so long for.
Currently in hospital with my daughter in similar situation with a life long disease. Thank you for hope. It was so nice to hear someone feel exactly what I currently feel.
My second son was born with very rare birth defects, requiring surgeries throughout his life and living with poor health for the rest of his life. It was also hard because I had an older son and eventually younger son's along with a spouse who really wasn't helpful or involved in the care of our children despite needing to be. Yet I would go through all of it again because of the sacred experiences I received. I knew my Heavenly Father was carrying me on this hard journey. My son had the best Drs and such caring nurses to help him/me throughout the 1st 21 years. Now at 23, he has the best primary Dr to care for him.
🦋🍃PSALM 84:11-12 "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: The LORD will give grace and glory: No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee."🙏💕
Thank you for sharing your story about your son with diabetes… I felt it deeply…
My first son has three food allergies and my second is autistic.
Both challenges I never thought I would carry and it’s been heavy… they are 6 and 4.
I am so grateful for the gospel and the Lord lifting me up because I could never have tackled these burdens alone. Just like you said I didn’t want this challenge… these trials were bigger than me.
I always love how personal Emily's experiences ring and resonate with me. Thank you both so much!
Thank you for another beautiful lesson, centered on the Saviour's grace, Emily your story moved me to tears, a mother's pure love for her son and God's love for his precious daughter.
Thank you so much for this lesson. I was hitting a wall when preparing to teach this. Came up with a couple of lesson plans, but they just didn't feel right. I was able to break this into 4 sections, and it was wonderful. The spirit was strong and testified of God's love for these incredible teens that are in my class. Thanks for teaching me, so I can teach them.
Emily, The basket company closed in 2019. I am from the city where it was. So exciting to see that someone else still has the baskets as part of their life. Hugs to you for the hard parts of your life.
I live in England now, but I used to be a demonstrator back in 2002 in Colorado. Mine all came with me and I still use/love mine. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@AlysonWhite awesome
I have a couple baskets--one was a gift from my mom, and one I ended up "inheriting" from her. I remember the era of those parties well and how popular they were. She also went to the city where their headquarters were and shared a picture of the office building that looked just like a big basket!
@@wittywoman100 The basket building is still there
It was from the two of you back in 2020, where I learned that's it's ok to lament and ask God why. I learned from the two of you that it's ok to complain and be angry, but not to stay there. To let God lift you out of that despair. My life is forever changed because of that lesson learned. Thank you for your heart and testimony of the Savior and His goodness and mercy.. It's helped me find mine ❤️.
Thank you for this lesson, my husband of 51yrs is struggling with dementia. I feel so lost and unable to help him cope and myself cope with what is happening .
This lesson is so timely. Mourning is part of our journey. I am so grateful to this book for making it beautifully permissible. It is a season of mourning for me and I need this. It gives us capacity to mourn with those that mourn. Bless you both.
This lesson makes me want to put "Selah" at the end of verse 6 in D&C 121! "O God, where art thou...... Selah. "My son, peace be unto thy soul....."
Thank you so much, Emily! Our youngest was diagnosed with diabetes just under a year ago. It has felt so heavy and I have felt so lost lately. Your words validated what I was feeling and gave me strength. Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Emily thanks for sharing your experience. It reminded me of a time when I needed to give it to the Lord. Yes I do think that we need to work through it first and when we have done all we can turn it over to the Lord. My husband is a diabetic. He has been for 60 years. A lot of progress has happened though that time. It made me realize what my husband and his mother must have gone through. My husband cried watching you share your experiences. We appreciate your sharing what you did to work through them. I am so grateful for my husband. He had a kidney transplant almost 9 years ago. His kidney is doing so amazing!
While we were going through infertility we had SO MANY SHOTS that were physically and emotionally painful. I did something similar making our medication station full of needles, medicine vials, and alcohol pads into a hopeful, miracle making station complete with happy colors, flowers and quotes/scriptures to add hope to a miserable situation. Here we are years later…about to welcome our miracle babies into the world.
In July of 2009 my business lost more than half our income never to recover again. At the end of that year our second eldest son`s 4 year old daughter hung herself by accident. Two years later her three year old sister was diagnosed with diabetes. Later that same year our eldest son who had been married for 10 years lost their first born at birth after trying to have children all this time. Both sons were returned missionaries. I had served as a bishop for 7 years after being released served as an ordinance worker for three years and on the high council when all this happened.
I know Heavenly Father loves me and that He would never allow me, my wife or our children to bear more than we would be able to handle. 12 years later I know that these trial`s were meant for our family. The pain never goes away but time heals. Jesus Christ not only died for our sins but also to help us bear our sorrows, burdens and illnesses. I have witnessed this and experienced it on many occasions during these times. All I can do is testify that I know that if we have Faith in Him things will get better.
Thank you for this episode. I was feeling and struggling with depression this week and I had a thought enter my mind through the spirit as you were talking which its something I've been learning recently, but a good reminder and in more detail this time. Anyways it really helped me. Thanks for all you do. For being spiritually prepared and in tune. It came from Him through you.
I buy a new soft sweatshirt every time we have to do a stay at prinarys 🥰
I loved this so much! And I need it so much in my life right now as I am coping with some of the hardest things I've ever had to cope with. Thank you! Bless you!
Emily, loved your story about the basket! So encouraging and such wonderful perspective. ❤️ Thank you
You will never know how much I needed to hear so much of what you said today! Your truly helped me welcome the Spirit into my situation. ❤️
I love this
Oh the Longaberger 🧺! ❤️ the story.
I'm at a stake women's camp overnight. This touched me deeply tonight.
I love you both! Thank you!
And I am old enough to remember the baskets! 😂
I love these videos. They truly set the mood for my day. I listen right before church, or when I'm getting ready for work in the morning. Thank you truly for these discussions. Also, can anyone tell me the name of that painting? And where I can find it? I absolutely love it, and feel a great desire to have it for my home. Thank you again for all!
Thank you for again helping me find the correct chapters and verses!!!
First of all, Longaberger baskets!!! 😍I love your story about your basket. Trying to find the bright side daily and (forcing) a little optimism are what keep me going. Secondly, this is such a tender lesson. I have a handful of people I love going through some incredibly hard trials and I can't help but weep for them as I listen to this lesson. And then get busy forwarding them the link.
Awesome. Thank you very much 😍🎈
Emely, quick note: your presentation was so piercing.. I loved it so much. You two are so gifted.
Such perfect lesson for our day. Can you post the picture painted by Eva Timothy for Maria, it must be amazing and I would love to see it.
I found it. It's beautiful!!
Do a search for her name and it will pull up her website, I found it. It is tender and a moving picture.
Longaberger basket!!! I have several!! I understand!!!
i have loved all of your videos, but this one is especially tender. thanks for being vulnerable with us. 💛
Yes we loved our baskets.
Are you familiar with "chesed"? This is the Hebrew word generally translated as mercy or loving kindness and refers to God's covenant faithfulness
David Butler those baskets are real! They are very expensive! And Emily Freeman I still have many! They are all handmade with high quality. I really appreciate all of your comments! Don’t ever throw away that basket! 😁
Thank you for doing these videos and sharing your insights into the scriptures and personal experiences!!
First time commenting, loved loved loved this and needed it!!!
What painting are you describing??? I would love to see it!
Excellent lesson!!! We are going through a hard time right now with my wife of over 50 years in a skilled nursing facility having recently been diagnosed with Dementia.
How old is Josh now?
Thank you for your insights and experiences. They help me relate the lessons to my own life.
I just have one little thing to say. I hope you don’t mind. Selah is pronounced SEE luh, not SAY law. Correct pronunciations for many Bible words and names can be found online.
I would love to see the painting you mentioned
Thank you for wonderful weekly videos, much appreciated, wish there was a way to send a PM as the hair constantly in the eyes and face of the lovely Emily made this video somewhat painful to watch... feel free to move it during the taping... :)
Can anyone pls write comment specifically about this sections pls ...i can not rewrite it daily pages as suggested ..anyone can help? Thank you
I absolutely love watching these videos. They have increased my knowledge of the scriptures.
Emily, you mentioned a painting with Christ, yoke, and a woman. What is the name of the painting? Who painted it? I would love to get one.
Thank you both for all of your knowledge and for allowing us to be spiritually fed.
The name of the painting is "Find Rest Unto Your Souls". Eva Timothy is the artist. She has a website where you can find her work.
@@larraineriser4575 Huge thanks! Have a wonderful day!
❤️
Where do I find the pyramid visual aid thing with the themes of Psalms?
Where do we find the picture you were talking about?
We could write our own psalms.
Where can I get that picture at?
