Sabbath Day

Today was a week that I was able to stay home and go to church with my family. After sleeping in longer than we should of, I went downstairs to take time to think and ponder. My faith means the world to me as it is my life and my family. Were it not for the gospel of Jesus Christ, I don't know what my life would be like.

I am not a perfect person by any means, and wish I could be more disciplined in many areas of my life. A few that I need to work on are reading the scriptures, reading good books, expanding my gospel knowledge and being in the habit reading the scriptures & praying with my family more often than not.

While I was downstairs Logan and Brooklynn eventually came down. They were just sitting on the couches with me and I decided to read to them the First Presidency message by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf out of this months Ensign. We talked about the article and about our Prophet today, Thomas S. Monson, and prophets from the past. I shared with them them who was the President and Prophet of the Church when I was there age. That was President Spencer W. Kimball.

I have a testimony of gospel, that of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I want my posterity to know of the truthfulness that lies within this church. I am so thankful to have the knowledge & testimony of a living prophet. To know that God communicates with his prophets today as he did in times of old. That God, through a prophet, leads and guides us today in a time when we need it more than ever before.
