Thoughts....

Yesterday Reid and I were able to attend our beloved Prophet, President Gordon B. Hinckley's funeral. I heard of his passing, only an hour after it had happened. I cried a river of tears, but knew he was with his Eternal Sweetheart & Friend, and that he was with our Savior & our Father. What comfort this gives! (“Upon being informed of his passing,” Bishop David H. Burton said: “My unprepared emotions found me in a darkened room with tears of sadness rolling down my face, soon to be replaced with sweet tears of joy.” I really liked this, and it really described how I felt)
What a strength he has been in my life! I was almost 15 when he became our Prophet, I remember then, in my youth the deep impression he left on me. Though he is not physically here with us anymore, his words, his teaching, his example will always be with us! Truly a Man of God is he! I say is, because I know, though his body be laid to rest, he has put on his shoes, and continued working, "For there is much work to be done! and not a lot of time left to do it!" He said this of building Temples.
I am thankful for my knowlege of our Latter day Prophet! That I was able to hear him, and heed his words! I am thankful for his teachings of our Savior, and his continued Revelation for us! I love him dearly, I am thankful for his life, unfailing continued service, & that he is home, with his companion. I know he was a Prophet of God! Till we meet, at Jesus' feet...
