It reminds me of being on the beach in California when an airplane will fly by with a banner waving behind it an advertisement. The difference with my banner today is that it was heaven sent through the gift of the Holy Ghost.This morning I was awaken with a clear thought. Some nights I will go to bed with a question, a challenge, or a problem I am pondering in my mind and I have been very grateful for those times, like today when I awoke with direction. I got out of bed to write down the thought so that I would not lose it or allow it to be diluted in anyway, and as I walked past the front door I could see a beautiful cotton candy pink sunrise. Upon returning to take the picture the moment had passed and this is what was left remaining. Although it was still beautiful, it was not as brilliant. And although I may have missed the picture it was most important that I remembered the message and followed its instruction.
Tonight I do not want to miss this moment to share with you that which is of most worth to me. It is through this same gift that woke me up today that I know that we all have a loving Father in Heaven who knows us each individually. We are his children. He loves us each completely. He is all knowing. He wants to bless us with all that he hath. He sent his only Begotten Son to atone for our sins and our mistakes, to comfort and understand our every difficulty we could experience in this life. The atonement allows us to forgive and to be forgiven, it provides hope in all circumstances, comfort, love and peace..If only we will do our part...to have faith...to be believing...to keep his commandments. For this knowledge I am very grateful, and very busy. I hope to follow each instruction that I am given. I want to be ready, awake, and prepared for each message I receive. I know that doing so will bring pure joy and happiness. I know these things to be true because i have put them to the test.
