Last night at the Priesthood Session I was moved when President Monson stood to speak. This morning I was once again touched by the Spirit when President Monson stood and spoke to the world in the Sunday Morning Session of General Conference. His message was short but powerful. He spoke about choices and how our choices determine the direction we go. I don't know how much longer we will be blessed to have President Monson. He is looking frail and his age is catching up with him. I am so very grateful for his life, his dedication to the Lord, his sefless service in the work of the Lord. I don't fully remember when he was called to the first presidency, maybe it was when President Ezra Taft Benson was called. Anyway, for the majority of my life he has been a member of the First Presidency. Truly he has been an inspiration over the course of my life and I am grateful for what I have learned from him.
Conference was wonderful. The messages were powerful and uplifting. I am looking forward to them coming available on LDS.org so I can begin reviewing the messages shared. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father and and hope that the choices I make in my life are those that will lead me closer to him.
