Life will not be free from challenges, some of them bitter and hard to bear. We may wish to be spared all the trials of life, but that would be contrary to the great plan of happiness, "for it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things." This testing is the source of our strength. As an innocent child, my sister Adele's life was cruelly interrupted by disease and suffering. She and all the others so taken continue the work of the Lord beyond the veil. She will not be denied anything essential for her eternal progression. We also lost an infant granddaughter. She was named Emma after my mother. We receive comfort from the scriptures. "Little children need no repentance, neither baptism. Little children are alive in Christ."
