Once again it is General Conference time! The Lord's prophet and apostles are going to gather for a worldwide broadcast and speak to us for two days! I can think of few other blessings more remarkable and more telling of our Heavenly Father's love for us than to have and hear living prophets who lead and guide us through these often perilous times. This weekend is a perfect time to ask questions and seek answers through the Holy Ghost as these men of God address us. I know that those who seek inspiration and direction will receive it either through the words of the prophets or the promptings of the Holy Ghost as the prophets speak. Pray and seek the guidance of the Lord. This is a wonderful time in which we live. I am forever grateful that God loves us, that He gives us living oracles so we may know better of Jesus Christ and know to what source we may look for a remission of our sins (see 2 Nephi 25:26). Tune in. It will bless your life.
You know, 9th grade seminary was the first time I learned each session of conference taught different information. I started watching the 4 sessions of the weekend during the october conference of that year.
ReplyDeleteIt was in 2006 that I learned to really appreciate conference and to understand the blessings I had of living in America, the land where the prophet lives. Many of those people had never seen temple square in any way besides through the projector screen... They didn't know what President Hinckley looked like besides what they saw on Ensigns and television. I had been lucky enough to be in the same room as him!
Being so far from home, those words in that session meant a whole lot to be. In the chaos of it all, the Lord still called a prophet, still provided me with a personal message....Beyond that, I was in the stake center where all the elders from the mission were gathering. That spirit was OVERWHELMING! Obedient missionaries send off a strong spiritual signal!
Can't wait for the first session to start! Enjoy!
