SPIRITUAL MEETING....

Some testimony meetings are just more spiritual than others, or maybe it was me....maybe I was more in tune but today was spiritual.  A lot of great testimonies were shared.  I thought about standing up ( I haven't born my testimony for several years)....but so many of the youth were standing that I didn't want to break that up in any way.  I think I got used to not bearing my testimony when I was in the Stake for so many years and I was on the speaking assignments with the High Council.  I felt like people were sick of hearing me speak, so I just haven't gotten up.
Today the testimonies touched mine as I thought about having 3 grandchildren in YW/YM  and soon we will have 4 (Hyrum).  I was a little melancholy  thinking about how quickly they are all growing up.  Then it came time to sing the closing song.  I hadn't looked at the page numbers (Shad always grabs to book before I do and opens it to the hymn).  Today as he opened it he said, "It's your song."  I knew what he meant.  He meant it was the song that I turn to when I am troubled and need to remember where to go for my source of peace.  It is the song the choir (that my mother had been a part of for 30 years) chose to sing at her funeral.

Where Can I Turn For Peace

The words and music touched me deeply.  It was a moment that I long for and rarely get.  I felt like Mom and Ben were right there.....telling me to always keep the words to this song in my mind.  I did feel peace and I am grateful for such a spiritual experience today.
