"My Words Never Cease"

This is a great talk by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland from April General Conference. As I prepare to teach Relief Society on 8/17, I came across this talk and really love some quotes I found.

"We believe in a God who is engaged in our lives, who is not silent, who is not absent."

"This church answers the challenge Ralph Waldo Emerson put to the students of the Havard Divinity School 170 years ago. [He] pled that they teach "that God is, not was; that he speaketh, not spake."."

How blessed I feel everyday to know that our Father in Heaven is concerned with me and my life every day. That my every concern and need are known by him and that he blesses me and my family.

Thanks, Melissa. It really keeps me focused on scripture study and paying attention to the spiritual side of myself.
