We thank thee oh God for a prophet!

As I listened to Conference I found myself feeling two things: First, that I missed President Hinckley. Second, that President Monson no longer felt like a Counselor he truly felt like our Prophet. The mantle seemed to have settled.

How thankful I am for a prophet. To guide us in these latter days. I am thankful for the gospel that lightens my mind with it's rays. I am thankful for every blessing bestowed by my loving Heavenly Father. I feel it a pleasure to serve the Lord and I love to obey his commands.

Oh, how I miss President Hinckley and oh, how I love President Monson! They truly lift us up higher and brighter than we are now. All because of who they are - a mouthpiece of the Lord. The Lord loves us and is keenly aware of our needs and situations.

I will forever be grateful for a prophet and all the blessings we receive because of the way they magnifying their callings. No matter who our prophet is, our Heavenly Father and our Savior are always the message givers. This is the church of Jesus Christ. We thank thee oh God for a prophet!


I found this on a friend of a friend's blog-thanks Pam. If you want to hear it just pause the current music at the bottom of the page and enjoy. WARNING: Tissues may be needed.

That video made me cry. I loved Pres. Hinckley so much and felt so close to him. He died on my little Wyatt's 4th birthday. Thanks for sharing it with me.
