As I was sitting in church today, pondering on the previous week and what was shared from the pulpit, I felt a wonderful sense of gratitude fill my heart. I'm grateful to live at a time when the gospel has been restored. I'm grateful to live close enough to a chapel to walk (that hasn't always been the case). I'm grateful for revelation, especially personal revelation. I'm grateful for technology that allows me to stay close to those I love and have access to more information than I could ever read.
A new video about the First Vision was released yesterday. (Here is the link-https://history.lds.org/story/first-vision) In the introduction it explains that there are nine different accounts of the First Vision experience. The video uses information from these accounts to "provide additional perspectives and insights." Although I don't understand some aspects of church procedures and church history, I'm grateful that there are places I can go to for answers, primarily my Heavenly Father. I love the youth theme this year-ask! Rather than discouraging questions, we are encouraged and counseled to ask (James 1:5-6).
I am grateful that Joseph Smith had the courage to ask and accept the answer he was given. It is my wish to live my life in the same way. If there is something you want to know, don't delay, ask! You will get an answer.
