Now Let Us Rejoice

I just returned from the General Relief Society Broadcast of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What a magnificent, uplifting, and inspiring meeting it was! The words of love, comfort, encouragement, joy and the calls to action sank deep into my heart. What blessing in the world can compare to the blessing of hearing and receiving the word of God?

I feel so impressed to do more to fulfill the calling that I have to be a woman of the Lord. I must be bold, I must be compassionate, I must work, and I must have joy. I must be a light to others and a standard bearer. I must not be afraid to speak the truth and more importantly to live it.

There were so many great things said tonight and I wish I could quote them to you. But my memory is not that good. But I just want everyone within my sphere of influence to know that I know that God lives. I know He loves us. I know He has a plan for this world and for all of his children. I invite everyone I know to come learn these things for themselves. You too can know the truth; not just believe, but know. You too can experience the peace that the gospel brings. Don't waste another minute! Heed the Savior's call to come unto Him. I am so grateful for the many experiences I have in my life that remind me of the call and get me back on the path. I hope to see you all on it and then we can help each other along.
