His Love is More.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had to attend Relief Society today. I'm reminded of two weeks ago when I almost didn't go because I wasn't feeling the best after sacrament meeting, but when I saw it was Relief Society, the Spirit whispered, "Stay." So I did. And how grateful I am. We discussed President Nelson's talk from General Conference "Overcome the World and Find Rest", and what a blessing the discussion was. For some, the holiday season can be tiring and stressful. Our discussion was enlightening and I received several answers and personal revelation. I am so, so grateful for Relief Society, and for the wonderful bond of sisterhood that I have been able to experience in the wards that I have resided in.

As it is the Christmas season, I have been thinking a lot about the birth of Jesus, and of His mother, Mary. I have also been thinking a lot about my miscarriage this past July, as well. I keep thinking, "If I hadn't had my miscarriage, I would be about 5 months pregnant now," and my heart aches. I keep wondering when? When will it happen for us? I try so hard to trust in Him, but it is getting so much harder. Some days are more difficult than others, but I just need to, in the words of Dory, "Keep Swimming", and remember that His love is more. 💜

His Love is More

by Mattie Velasquez

When you lose a friend,

And your heart aches,

His love is more.

When you struggle in school,

And your knowledge escapes,

His love is more.

When you hit a dead end,

And your faith falters again,

His love is more.

When you hang your head low

Because your mind is in pain,

His love is more.

When you lose your sweet baby,

And feel lost and unsure,

His love is more.

When you find you can't speak,

And just feel so bleak,

His love is more.

When your tears always fall

And pile on the floor,

His love is more.

His love is more

Than a bitter end.

His love is more

Than a small pool.

His love is more

Than that of friend.

His love is more

Than just a show.

His love is more

Than a "Maybe."

His love is more

Than a rough week.

His love is more

Than feeling small.

His love is more

Because He gave all.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and a wonderful holiday season. May you and yours have love and safety this year.
