7 ¶ Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Chapter 22: Revelation: “A Continuous Melody and a Thunderous Appeal”
If you get a chance to read this lesson it is awesome! On Sunday I had the privilege of giving this lesson. It made me really think about a lot of things, I think that this quote got me thinking the most.
-If one rises from his knees having merely said words, he should fall back on his knees and remain there until he has established communication with the Lord who is very anxious to bless, but having given man his free agency, will not force himself upon that man. Do you want guidance? Have you prayed to the Lord for inspiration? Do you want to do right or do you want to do what you want to do whether or not it is right? Do you want to do what is best for you in the long run or what seems more desirable for the moment? Have you prayed? How much have you prayed? How did you pray? Have you prayed as did the Savior of the world in Gethsemane or did you ask for what you want regardless of its being proper? Do you say in your prayers: “Thy will be done”? Did you say, “Heavenly Father, if you will inspire and impress me with the right, I will do that right”? Or, did you pray, “Give me what I want or I will take it anyway”? Did you say: “Father in Heaven, I love you, I believe in you, I know you are omniscient. I am honest. I am sincerely desirous of doing right. I know you can see the end from the beginning. You can see the future. You can discern if under this situation I present, I will have peace or turmoil, happiness or sorrow, success or failure. Tell me, please, loved Heavenly Father, and I promise to do what you tell me to do.” Have you prayed that way? Don’t you think it might be wise? Are you courageous enough to pray that prayer?
The Lord will give you answer to your questions and to your prayers if you are listening. It doesn’t have to all come through the prophet. … But all people, if they are worthy enough and close enough to the Lord, can have revelations

I am thankful for the gospel in my life and for prayer! I know that my life has been very blessed, I am grateful for my Two beautiful boys and there sweet spirits, and for my sweetheart James, they mean the world to me. Thank you to all of my family, I love you all. I hope that you all have a great Thanksgiving..

FAMILY NIGHT
We had a lot of fun last night played some games and, had a little lesson, and of course we had to have a dessert. Caleb was on a sugar high and was going crazy, he only had two bites of ice cream. Nathaniel is always full of it, we love them both, and we feel so blessed to have them apart of our family!!
