Do they come any more, not only inspiring, but inspired?? I am so grateful to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and to be led by a modern day Prophet who leads and guides us!
We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet,
To guide us in these latter days;
We thank Thee for sending the Gospel
To lighten our minds with its rays;
We thank Thee for every blessing
Bestowed by Thy bounteous hand;
We feel it a pleasure to serve Thee,
And love to obey Thy command.
When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us
And threaten our peace to destroy,
There is hope smiling brightly before us,
And we know that deliv’rance is nigh;
We doubt not the Lord, nor His goodness,
We’ve proved Him in days that are past;
The wicked who fight against Zion,
Will surely be smitten at last.
We’ll sing of His goodness and mercy,
We’ll praise Him by day and by night,
Rejoice in His glorious Gospel,
And bask in its lifegiving light;
Thus on to eternal perfection
The honest and faithful will go,
While they who reject this glad message,
Shall never such happiness know.
A few weeks ago was our Stake Conference with our Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson presiding. It was a regional conference, my stake was to watch the broadcast at our Stake Center. But my parents Stake were to go to the Dee Events Center. I knew I'd rather go be there than cram into the Stake Center, so that I did. Icing on the cake, because my dad is a Branch President, he was given reserved seating to sit on the floor. And because I'm super special, he got an extra ticket for me. We were on the 3rd row. THIRD ROW! That is the closest I have ever been to a Prophet. It was amazing!! You could just feel his spirit radiating from him. I am so grateful for that opportunity and even more grateful we are led by such an inspired (and inspiring) man.
