Healing the Scars of Our Troubles

A gnarly tree trunk at Highlands Hammock State Park.

I recently read the talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf called "The Gift of Grace" and it is an excellent resource in discovering how we can overcome challenges. Essentially, it tells us that the Atonement of Jesus Christ has given us the strength and ability to press through hardships and that we need to step through the gate that God's grace has unlocked. Our main source of strength in overcoming trials should be the Atonement. No other source is capable of healing us from the scars of our troubles. 

Can you see the banana spider?

Someone got creative with this stump.
