“Our Heavenly Father has reserved many of His most noble spirits – perhaps, I might say, His finest team - for this final phase. Those noble spirits – those finest players, those heroes – are you.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Russell M. Nelson was talking to our kids - mine and yours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is how He sees them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is how God sees them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I fell in love with this beautiful painting by Sim

I fell in love with this beautiful painting by Simon Dewey the first time I saw it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It now hangs on the wall of my home where I see it every time I walk into my living room.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The light He holds high enough for others to see.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
His beckoning hands.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soft, caring eyes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The way He looks like He is about to turn around and start walking, wanting nothing more than for me to follow Him.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The setting sun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The dwindling daylight.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every detail speaks to my soul.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"You will be safe if you follow me," He says.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I know the way because I am the way. My light is sufficient to navigate the darkening path."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, I #givethanks for a Savior who shows me the way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who patiently holds the light while I attempt to follow, however clumsily.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whose grace covers my shortcomings, even when I make the same mistakes a million times.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is my light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My strength.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My peace in a chaotic world.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This year, my feelings about the scriptures have changed.

I always believed they were true.

But sometimes, it was hard for me to consistently study them.

This year, however, I began to crave my study time.

Each morning, I find solace as I read, highlighter in hand so I don’t miss the important parts.

The words feel more applicable.

The verses I have read a thousand times have taken on new meaning.

It almost feels like I am living in the stories of Nephi, Alma, and Ether.

I feel their joy and their pain.

So today, I am grateful for the Book of Mormon, and how it is changing me.

I’m kicking off 7 days of sharing gratitude online. The world needs a little more of that.

What are you grateful for?
