The Sweetest Experience

“The sweetest experience I know In life is to feel a prompting and act upon it. And later find out that it was the fulfillment of someone’s prayer or someone’s need. I always want the lord to know that if he needs an errand run Tom Monson will run that errand for him. 
-President Thomas S. Monson

Durning Conference they did a special in between sessions on the life of President Thomas S. Monson. At the end of he said the above statement. I want to add my name in where he said his. That I always want the lord to know that if he needs an errand run Dallas Curtis will run that errand for him. 
We all should add our name in and let our Heavenly Father know that he can count on us. 

I too feel that it's a sweet experience to feel a prompting and see what comes from such a prompting when acted upon. I feel that there are many times our Heavenly Father calls to us and places thoughts and desires into our minds and hearts. For this is how he communicates to his children. It is a precious source of inspiration that we received as part of the gift of the Holy Ghost after our baptisms. I know that those promptings come quietly and are easily missed when we are preoccupied with the things of this world. But as we make time "regularly" to meditate and ponder our many blessings and spiritual things, that we will be open and receptive to the feelings and impressions that will come to us for our instruction, direction, correction, and protection. 

May we strive to "quiet" our lives and rid ourselves of those things that are drowning out the spirit and making it difficult for us to hear the voice of the lord. Even better, may we not only avoid that which is bad but fill our lives with those things that invite the spirit. Then the lord will begin to be able to answer all our questions about where we need to go and what we need to do. I know we'll all see a great difference and a higher level of peace and happiness as we do so. 

-Dallas Curtis
