The scriptures are so uplifting and give me the needed personal revelation promised and needed. Some days just a simple resolution comes when I least expect it. I am so grateful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as well.
There is power in staying the course and following the counsel of the Spirit from reading my scriptures. I see the blessings of making it a priority to pray each morning and evening together, reading the scriptures in seeking "first the kingdom of God."
Temple attendance is another way to seek first the kingdom of God over pleasure and bring to pass the blessings of immortality and Eternal Life for our kindred. I am amazed at how much more there is to be discovered in my family genealogy through new.familysearch.org. I feel unseen hands guiding me and helping me find files, photos and remembering stories to write about my personal history and that of my children.
An interesting side note:
About two weeks ago I was watching on TV a special program that was in commemoration of the entertainer, Elvis Presley's birthday (January 8). He was doing his gyrations and singing ballads and love songs as so many have attempted to mimic over the years.His performance that was shown was some of his first shows in Las Vegas. I watched his manner and remembered that when he had died, my Tana was about four years old. Then months later there was something on TV about him, perhaps his birthday or the year mark of his death. Tana saw and heard who it was and knowing he had died asked me, "hs he been resurrected?"
What else might a four year old [with her Primary and Family Home Evening lessons] know about Easter and Christ's resurrection might think and say? She owned it and made me laugh at her innoent insight and her question about him looking like he was alive on TV and in fact be resurrected?
