The Holy Ghost And How He Saves in a Time of Need

As the Dews from Heaven descend upon us!

Becky Thomas wrote her feelings in the loss of a friend. I put an excerpt here:

"I have spoken many times in my columns and in my life about the importance of the Holy Ghost. I have known since I was a little girl of his power, influence and ability to touch our hearts, minds and our lives.The first time I knew he was real was on the day of my baptism as an 8-year-old girl. When my dad confirmed me a member of the church and through the priesthood power gave me the gift of the Holy Ghost, I was touched and overwhelmed in a way that neither my father nor I could ever deny.

Since that day, I have been keenly aware of the Holy Ghost, what it is like to have his companionship and what it is like to lose it.

Having the Holy Ghost is a dream come true.

He gives us comfort when nothing else in the world can come close to giving us the peace we so desperately need.

He gives us perspective when life seems so unfair.

He gives us guidance when we have no idea which way to turn.

He gives us understanding when nothing makes sense.

He gives us the ability to see things as they really are, versus how they seem to be, therefore giving us calm and confidence in the future."

So many times in my own life I too, have felt and known the prompting of this great testator of truth and given me strength beyond my own as well as vision beyond my physical eyes.
