This is an African proverb that was used in this months CES Fireside by Elder Lynn G. Robbins. It really stuck out to me. Often when we are going through hard times/a learning experience, I think we would prefer that things were easier. Yet when we think about the people that we want to be someday, (Christ-like, empathetic, strong testimony, patient, forgiving..."skilled spiritual/life sailors) we often obtain these qualities through learning experiences/hard times. I'm grateful that our loving Heavenly Father understands us and what will help us to become the "skillful sailors" we need to be to be strong in the Gospel, and endure to the end.
