AngeLs...

My General Conference Thoughts....


I am so thankful for the gospel and the opportunity we have twice a year to listen to the prophets and apostles who are speaking directly to us. This conference was a good one as they always are, and again there was one talk in particular that really touched me. I don't know how many of you heard the talk in the Saturday afternoon by Jeffrey R. Holland about ANGELS, but it was amazing. If you didn't you should get online and listen to it, or wait till Thursday to read it, but the way Elder Holland conveys his message is very touching. Toward the end of his talk he mentions a scripture...
D&C 84:88
And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.


Along with sharing this scripture he emphasized the part, "angels round about you" and said we need to remember this, especially in the hard times. He then shared a touching story about a little boy and his father, but I'm gonna make you listen to it, because I know I could not do it justice.
I am so thankful to Elder Holland for giving this talk. The spirit really touched me. I am so thankful for the gospel and all of the joys it brings into my life. I am so thankful for my families, whom I love very much. I am so thankful for the scriptures, and that we have them to read and ponder every day. I am so thankful for General Conference and the opportunity we have to be spiritually uplifted and renewed. I am thankful for the ANGELS that my loving Heavenly Father has placed "round about" me. I couldn't make it through this wonderful life without them.
