It is a few minutes past midnight--2007 years ago the Savior came to this earth to fulfill his mission and complete the Atonement. I now sit in the study in our home looking at the picture of the Savior in Gethsemane and beneath it is a picture of Spencer W. Kimball--our present day prophet. I feel compelled by the Spirit to spend time in prayer and meditation. Perhaps I may stay up all night. It is odd that I should feel such a deep sense of spiritual yearning because we have spent a wonderful family evening together. All of the children have completed their pictures and I will now make a composite to be given to each member of the family for their book of remembrance. I feel that I am on the very brink of having some type of spiritual manifestation that may provide direction or indication to me of my needs as a patriarch to the family. I know the greatness of each of the members of this family and I know that I am to play and important part in helping them reach their potential in becoming choice outstanding people in the Kingdom of God.
My soul is filled with gratitude at this hour--life is sweet and "my world" is filled with so much love. I truly yearn and feel for those who suffer this night. I will turn to the scriptures to search for a closeness to my Father in Heaven and the Savior that I have never known or accomplished before. I pray that the lord will grant me this privilege!!!
