I Can Handle It All!

I was pondering the meaning of life a couple days ago (psshh I crack myself up :) and was reminded of a comparison I had made when I saw a TV commercial a couple years ago.

The commercial is of a mother sitting at a table with various people sitting around the table with her. A very Boardroom type feel. Some of the people at the table included one of her children, the principal of her child's school, her boss at work, and her child's after school baby sitter. Each person was there to tell her about different things that they would do that would inevitably make her day a little harder. The woman's child told her that he decided to throw a fit over getting dressed, so she would be late for work. The principal of the school said that he would be calling her to tell her that her child was in a fight. The woman's boss was going to tell her to stay late because she wasn't on time. The babysitter is going to call and tell her at the last minute that she can't come that day. After sitting quietly a moment the woman looks up and says to the party, "Well, I can do it. So long as I have my [insert Brand Name] orange juice, I can handle it all!" 

Look at that statement and lets swap some things out.

"So long as I have [my Savior, Jesus Christ there with me], I can handle it all!" What a true statement. 

We may not have the luxury of people sitting around the board room to tell us how they plan on influencing our lives that day but we can have the help of the Savior in all aspects of life. No matter how long or hard the trials may last so long as we remember that one statement, everything (believe it or not) is going to be okay! :) 

I can do it!

 So long as I have my Savior,

Jesus Christ,

 here with me,

 I can handle it all!"
