Book Club was an interesting discussion on a book I wasn't too sure I wanted to pick up.
I surround myself with bright, well rounded people so I can learn.
My friends at book club are such people.
By the conversation's end, I was convinced Dracula would make my "plan to read" list.
And then...
Who would have thought that this evening's chatter would end
on such a different note.
One that left me filled with the spirit of truth.
But my friend Marie is so good at it.
She asked if could read us a scripture that was announced as the new year's
theme for the Young Women's organization.
Joshua 1:9
As Marie read these words, there was only quiet.
Just the sound of her voice reading from the scriptures.
Her testimony was evident in her recitation.
Then she asked if she could share the one and only cross reference:
D&C 38:7
"But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you.
I am in your midst and ye cannot see me;"
What a timely and powerful message for our youth.
So inspired ~ for such a time as this.
Thank you Marie. You are a gift to all of us.
