As I came to an end of a very busy uplifting weekend. I decided that I needed to find something to post for this weeks thought on Provident Living. As I began searching through the site http://www.lds.org/daily-messages?lang=eng I came upon this page.
I was overwhelmed by the tender mercy of the Lord giving me just what I needed for this post.
Words of the Prophets, Who better to explain it to us in the Lord's way...
What I Love, is the ability to Hear the voice of the Prophets as I read what they have to say. You know what I mean? I can actually hear how they would be saying it. You too?!
