Today was Kris' mission talk he gave in Sacrament meeting. We attended as a family the nine o'clock schedule. All the siblings who live here in the valley came. It was a sweet bonding event for all who attended. There were several other speakers who's talks seemed to blend with the theme, service and missionary work.
My grandson, Kris gave a great talk and bore his testimony. I know it will be a strength to him to have the love, support and prayers of his ward family as well as his immediate and extended prayers in his behalf as he goes forth to serve in Madagascar.
My heart was touched many times by the Spirit of which was testified to me of the truthfulness of this gospel and the blessings it is and has been in my life. I felt the love and hand of God as I saw each of my children there, with His image in their countenances and love in their hearts for each other and me. That, more than anything is priceless, literally. What we have and embrace as a family is eternal and cannot be bought now taken away, in our righteous endeavors and dedication to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
God bless us to that end, I pray.
At day's end, most assuredly you can discover the scriptures being read at the McIntire household. Hank and Lori make it their daily practice each day to have scripture reading before family prayer in their home.
After Sunday dinner and into the evening before the littlest of the bunch are put to bed--the family gathers and has that time together for the few minutes before closing their day as a family. It is always a blessing to be there and enjoy the sweetness of the Spirit. Whomever is visiting are invited to join with them in both, scripture reading and prayers.
