Things I don't want to FORGET!

One of my favorite members of the Quorum of the Twelve is Elder Richard G. Scott.  He first caught my eye when I was a young girl.  I remember he used to look right at the TV during General Conference and at "me" (remember the cameras would follow him and he seemed to have his talk memorized). 
Then on my mission while I was at the MTC (Mission Training Center) and then when I was in the mission field he came to speak to the missionaries. 
One topic that he speaks about A LOT is listening to the promptings of the spirit and recording them.  For several years I used to carry a small notebook around with me to record my personal revelations.  Since being a mom I have gotten out of the habit. Ugh!  I am going to try to be better again and so I created a file on my computer to record these impressions.  Here are a few:
  • Be Radiant! You are a Daughter of God!
  • Always remember how special you are (and others) to our Heavenly Father.
  • Eternal Perspective - Keep it daily!
  • Say those morning and evening personal prayers.  I am good with getting the family together, but need to be better at quieting my thoughts down for personal prayers.
  • Be consistent in everything I do (especially with the kids).
Love the gospel!
