feeling promptings

so, I am new at this....blogging that is,
and this is the dad speaking.

Feeling a prompting should come frequently....I believe the Lord is constantly sending messages to us, but since we tend to be a fallen race (fallen men) we do not, as a general rule, do a very good job of receiving. President Monson is a fantastic living example of a son of God who follows promptings.

That being said, I do not compare very well to his example. But I have actually paid attention to a few promptings sent my way. One, I remember very well....

We were having stake temple day in Oregon...I had done several sessions that day...and it was one of the last sessions....
I was involved in the prayer thingy (not sure if you should talk to much about the ceremony lest you become casual about the temple...so I opt for "thingy")
Sister Martin was also there...and the guy giving the prayer said "bless those who came with a need for a blessing"....suddenly, as clear as a slap in the head, I had the thought "sister Martin really doesn't want to be blind" Now, that was a real shot...and I pondered how we often take our position in life for granted...not the ungrateful "for granted", but the "we can't change it" type of for granted. So I approached her, and had a great experience in giving her a blessing later that evening at her home (with Bro. Marshall) The Lord really blessed her, I am thankful I listen that one time to the Lord....."She really doesn't want to be blind" I hope we never want to be blind
