Continuing with President Uchtdorf's talk:
The first petal of the forget-me-not reminds us to "forget not to be patient with yourself."
We are continually reminded to be patient with others. Just when I feel like I might be getting a handle on that, I am told to "be patient with myself."
The truth is, I am not patient with myself. I get angry that I keep making the same mistakes, that I can't seem to do the simplest thing right, and so on. President Uchtdort reminds me that God is fully aware of my weaknesses and loves me anyway. Who am I to do less than Him?
So, for today, I am grateful for times when I am patient with myself.
It is comforting to know that God knows what our struggles are and that he knows where we are weak but still loves us.
