"I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down."

Before I would write, I would ponder this question: "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?" As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done. Elder Henry B. Eyring

We attended Hymns of Thanksgiving this evening, it was a nice program. I was thinking how certain music can really lift our spirits and enable us to feel closer to our Heavenly Father. I am grateful for inspired composers that are able to create such powerful music. It is interesting for me, it doesn't necessarily need to be hymns even though I believe some hymns are also very powerful. When facing challenges or uncertainties, I can listen to certain music and I will then experience this feeling that everything is as it should be, everything will be alright and God is in control and aware of our unique circumstances.

I LOVE music. It can help you feel the spirit and our Savior's love in no other way. I have had countless experiences in choir, church, performances, & just listening at home or in the car.
