Modern Day Revelation
During the last general conference Elder Eyring spoke about keeping a journal which chronicled the hand of God in his life. This was kept so that his children could see the hand of the Lord in their lives. I have always kept a journal where I wrote spiritual experiences I have had, but I haven’t done it on a daily basis since I returned home from my mission. I should have continued it! I started writing again yesterday. It is a wonderful practice to force yourself, at the end of the day, to ponder over the days activities, and look for influences of the Lord in our lives. It provides the Lord and opportunity to teach us his will concerning us, and also help us realize the mistakes we have made so that we can right them and work harder at not repeating them. I am excited to be able to do this, not just for me, but so that my children will “know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins” – 2 Nephi 25:26. Also that they may know that their father strives to follow in the footsteps of the Lord.
I suggest everyone follow the counsel of a living prophet, and keep a journal of the daily influences of the Lord in your life. This activity has the power to bring anyone to Christ!

Is a gratitude journal close enough?!?
Is it a record of the hand of the Lord in your life?
