I really loved President Nelson's words in his most recent talk, "Please don't let your prayers sound like a shopping list. The Lord's perspective transcends your mortal wisdom. His response to your prayers may surprise you . . . rather than focus on the excruciating difficulties of the day, our prayers can be - and should be - living discussions with our Heavenly Father."
So, I have been thinking about what "may surprise you" means. Like a good surprise or maybe a bad one? I'm joking :-) I know that everything that comes from the Lord is good. President Nelson also says, ". . . . do the spiritual work to increase your capacity to receive personal revelation." So, that is what I'm trying to do. Read my scriptures each day, daily prayer, etc. I am so fortunate to have a Heavenly Father who care about me and my family and our lives on earth. And while we try to figure it all out, we get to live in a world with beautiful Fall leaves, crisp mornings, squirrels and birds, pumpkins, gorgeous warm days and crisp Fall evenings. I am reminded of the primary song, "I think the world is glorious and lovely as can be. The birds and bees and blossoms bring sweet messages to me."
