President Hinckley

I was just driving home from dinner at Clint's grandma's house, and we heard on the radio about President Hinckley's passing away. I was shocked at the news, but also I am very grateful to be blessed with the guidance of a living prophet on the earth today, and how Heavenly Father has plans in store for us that we might not understand at our level. I'm emotional about our prophet's passing, but also excited to see the sustaining of President Monson, who will succeed Pres. Hinckley as prophet.
I was thinking earlier today, that I'm due for another spiritual overhaul. I think I've been kind of "slacking" in the spiritual department lately--mostly with traveling, and sick kids--I've missed a lot of church. Today was the first time this year that I've gone to all three meeting of church, and I'm so grateful to have those three hours each week to rejuvenate, and be edified (between shushing my kids 13 million times during sacrament meeting, and the chaos of trying to get there on time) It helps me remember what I can and should be doing each day through the week the lift myself higher, and also to set an example to teach my children to be more like Christ.
