Memorabilia! :)

There was a Noon Devotional this last Friday at the institute given by Sis. Colleen Terry. She shared something that I thought everyone deserved to think about. She started off by telling us to picture in our mind our favorite photograph. She explained that these photographs remind us of happy moments that we don't ever want to forget... She then went through different happy events that each of us have in our memory; the day we were married, receiving our driver's license, our first kiss, getting baptised, etc. She continued all the way back to our first baby step, and our very first breath. We all laughed because no one could ever remember how they felt when they took their first breath. Sis. Terry asked us why, why can't we remember that far back... simply it is because we don't have a perfect memory. She then explained that we all know that these events (first step, and breath) took place because we have evidence… we have proof! This proof includes pictures, family videos, our parents as eye witnesses, etc.
To change gears, Sis. Terry then explained that this is exactly what happened as we came to earth. We know that we lived before we came here simply because of the proof that we have on this earth; the Book of Mormon, our patriarchal blessings, Prophets, etc. etc. We are here to REMEMBER who we are and to strive to reach that potential!
WOW! I’m not sure if the above explanation makes any sense anyone else, but it does to me and I know that it is true! I know that when I read my scriptures the spirit is trying to remind me that I am someone special, i know that my patriarchal blessing is a letter from my Father in Heaven telling me a little bit about who i really am and who He wants me to be, i know that our Prophet is an instrument in His hands to bring us all home together! THE CHURCH IS TRUE MY FRIENDS! :)
P.s. Thanks Colleen! You're a Peach!
