This last week was Memorial Day. I felt somber reading the stories of these warriors. They gave the ultimate sacrifice on this earth for us. I know that despite all the "new" findings random people find, they did good. They were good men and women who fought for the liberty of all.
LEOs, you are doing good. Whatever issues you are facing, face them with the Lord. Off track? Fight to get back. Missing the spirit? Dig deep into the gospel. It is too simple not to go for it. But let me again reiterate: YOU ARE DOING GOOD!
The Lord has chosen all of us on this earth to serve a wise purpose and come back to Him. You have a special talent that makes you different from more than just the public, but to even your coworkers. You fight alongside many of the the other great warriors like Mormon, Moroni, Moses, and probably many other "M" named gospel-followers. You work to find balance in work, home, AND church. You seek for the good things of the earth even when the most evil on the earth almost literally is in front of you. You understand the comfort the spirit holds in the the darkness. You are the publisher of peace. You are the Lord's tools. You matter.
Still not feeling it? Here is your challenge. Before your next shift, go through your gospel library app (c'mon, we all know you use that way more), and find a righteous warrior. Your choice from time and location. I love Old Testament but I do enjoy some Book of Mormon ones. Read what they did. read how they overcame challenges. Then get on your knees and ask the Lord for a better understanding of how this applies to you. I promise you will find some bit of closure from the issue you are facing. Will you take the challenge?
We are needed in this world no matter who wants to regulate or harm us. We protect the Lord's sheep. We pull them from the terrors of the world back into the fold. Take courage and the challenge.
Godspeed LEOs.
