Stake Women's Conference

This Saturday, I went to my stake's women's conference and it was amazing. The topic was "Be Still My Soul" and the closing song, sung by a men's chorus with orchestra accompaniment, was this hymn. The speaker punctuated her talk about finding peace in trials with music that emphasized her points, and one hymn in particular really resonated with me--Hymn 120, "Lean on My Ample Arm." The hymn was so powerful to me I think because I'd been feeling kind of physcially unloved since my divorce. I miss having someone there to hug and be close to. It was powerful to realize that of course my Savoir has a body like mine and can give me a hug when I need it. He truly did suffer all and has a perfect empathy.
