The Quiet Moments We Feel The Spirit #16

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.
