"My Words....Never Cease"

We had a wonderful talk on revelation in Relief Society today. Carter had fallen asleep during Sunday School so Bryan took him to Priesthood with him. It was quite nice being able to sit and fully enjoy the lesson today. Our teacher based her lesson on the talk by Elder Holland called "My Words...Never Cease" from last General Conference. We talked about a lot of aspects of revelation, but there was one comment made that really made sense and was a good way to think of revelation.

The woman sitting in the back row said every time she had taken her boys to the MTC for their mission it wasn't until they were walking away, after saying good bye that she thought of one more thing she needed to tell them; something important that they just needed to know. That must be how Heavenly Father feels about us. There are things He knows we need to know and He wants us to be successful and return to him so he speaks to us through modern day revelation.

I am so grateful for the guidance we receive through the scriptures and our living prophet President Monson. I am excited for this next General Conference and the direction I can get to continue to guide my life and my family.
