Trying to be compassionate!

I am really trying to be compassionate to others with a different point of view...but they make it sooooooo hard!! I just read an article about what is happening in LA and it made me so sad. You can read the article yourself here: http://www.ldsmag.com/ideas/081110hate.html. I am grateful for the prophet and I have the upmost confidence in him and in my Father in Heaven and in Jesus Christ. I worry about how awful this world has to become before Christ will come again and I feel so sad for my children and for what they will have to endure, but I know it is necessary to separate the sheep from the goats and I am hopeful that we will all be on the right side. I will just keep on praying and reading my scriptures so that I am prepared and so that I can prepare my children for what will lay ahead of us in this battle of good versus evil! I know that GOOD will PREVAIL!!!!
