When our burdens are grievous to be borne, when we face a world in which it seems that there is only struggle and no rest, I hope we can remember the immense strength of our sisterhood, the reservoirs that we have within us, and the unfailing wellspring of the Saviorâ€™s love for us, even in the midst of adversity.

Only you know your circumstances, your energy level, the needs of your children, and the emotional demands of your other obligations. Be wise during intensive seasons of your life. Cherish your agency, and donâ€™t give it away casually. Donâ€™t compare yourself to others â€” nearly always this will make you despondent. Donâ€™t accept somebody elseâ€™s interpretation of how you should be spending your time. Make the best decision you can and then evaluate it to see how it works.
