The
Quiet Moments We Feel The Spirit
I want to spend a few moments telling you my
experience this Sabbath day. As I was coming to the end of a short film I
was watching, my wife came and tapped me on the shoulder, I was wearing headphones
and wouldn't hear her if she had just said something. I stopped the short film,
removed my headphones, then she asked, “are you ok, I thought you were crying,
and you are, what’s wrong”? I found at that moment it was hard for me to speak
a word as if I said one word, I would collapse into full blown tears. As I
tried to pull my emotions together, I showed my wife what I had been watching.
In an instant she understood what was going on.
I was watching a short film or documentary as it
were about the life Thomas S. Monson. Thomas S. Monson was the President of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until his passing in January of
2018. The love I had for the soft-spoken man, leader of our church, I just
can’t explain here.
But what I do want to tell you is about where my
tears came from. When my wife tapped me on the shoulder and I realized I was
crying, I knew my tears were coming from the Spirit of the Lord. I didn’t care
that I was crying, my heart was filled with the love for Thomas S. Monson, a
servant of the Lord and the Holy Spirit was confirming this to me.
After having the sweet feelings/promptings of the Spirit how can one ever stop seeking to be obedient to our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ.
