An Extra Measure of Blessings--A Reminder

Several times today I had some promptings that flowed to my mind that were of benefit to myself and others. These (promptings) seemed to come out of the blue yet, I know they were given to me in my mind at the right time, place and to the benefit of another person.

I had two more instances of a suggestion for someone to search out information from their pharmacist about some medication they had, and to find a simpler way to get a used engine from a place I knew about when my car was repaired and then find someone to install it for a lot less than expected. It was just those kinds of things that I experienced today. The scriptures have played an important role in becoming my own personal Urim and Thummim as promised to me.

Then I remembered a promise that was made to me recently that as I read the Book of Mormon and feasted upon the words in them I would be blessed to know many things. I was also told that the scriptures would become as my own personal "urim and thummin." What a wonderful promise!

Could these promptings that flowed to my mind be from just reading and feasting upon my scriptures, specifically the Book of Mormon? I know that the words given to me in my mind happen more than a few times today, that by this evening I noticed how consistent these were in relationship to my obedience to follow the counsel given to me earlier.

It makes sense to me that anyone else would also receive the same blessing too as they read the Book of Mormon daily and feast upon the words, and read more than just a chapter or a few scriptures each day.


I am comforted to know this and bear testimony of its influence in my daily life. I felt a closeness of the Holy Ghost and acted upon those inclinations and personal revelation. It kept happening as I went from one activity to another. I knew when to call Candice and see if she needed some help was able to know beforehand that I would be excused from jury duty to be helpful for her and Aaron today. That was fulfilled with such exactness.


I recognize the hand of God in my life, which brings me great joy.




I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is true, the word of God, and translated by Joseph Smith. That he is the prophet of the restoration and his mission was to bring us the blessings restoring the priesthood power again upon the earth.
