Life is sometimes like a mound of unfinished laundry

Having my husband work fulltime and in night grad school, at times has been challenging. Sometimes it seems to wear us both thin. We often find ourselves tired, irritated, and feeling like nothing we start ever gets truly accomplished. I have found that Discouragement often tries to find his way into our home as a very unwelcomed guest.
Sometimes I think i  could compare obstacles in our lives to a mound of laundry with a new born baby- it just never seems possible to tackle. But the thing about that mound of laundry is that eventually it does get started and after a while as the new born grows, patterns are made and time is organized to eventually get the laundry washed, folded, and put away. Sometimes you might even get someone to help you clean it.
That's how the gospel works for me. That's how the Savior blesses my life. He makes what seems impossible to my limited knowledge, understanding, and experience in comparison to His, very possible. He makes it so possible that when several children's laundry is added to the mix and makes the mound grow, it somehow not only gets accomplished but betters our lives one piece at a time.
