I am thankful for the scriptures
I love the scriptures. I love the feeling that comes when I open the books, and start reading. Being able to read the stories of times of old, and then watch how these stories help you deal with life in today's world. I have a wonderful example of ferevent scripture study and that is my mom. She is an amazing example. Her scriptures are well used, and I love to look at them, admiring all the marks and notes that she has on the pages.
One of my favorite Book of Mormon stories is found Alma. Ammon is a servant to King Lamoni, and teaches the gospel to many. I have one memory that is very dear to my heart involving scripture reading. It was a couple years ago when President Hinckley encouraged all the church members to read the entire Book of Mormon before the end of the year. Rob and I took on this challenge, however we were a little late in getting started. We were determined to finish, so every day after work we would sit and read. Our goal was to read just a couple chapters a day, but there were some days that we didn't want to stop. I think thats how the spirit works. My scriptures are so special to me. I am grateful to the many miracles, and sacrifices that have taken place to bring the Book of Mormon to the earth.
