Past, Present, and Future

I just had a random thought - the transformation of scrooge is remarkable, but so is any repentance process. I was thinking (in preparation for my talk on Sunday (can't you tell I'm so excited)) ... anyways, I was thinking about how Nephi taught his brothers from the scriptures and brought things to remembrance so that they could better come to Christ. In fact, how many times in the scriptures does a prophet say to remember how the Lord led their ancestors out of Egypt, and it's supposed to remind them to worship Him. So isn't it kind of cool that we have our own knowledge of the past, present, and future through the scriptures? And doesn't it often have the same effect of changing us that Scrooge experienced? And aren't we incredibly blessed to be able to have that knowledge not just for one night, or three, but every day and every night that we look for it?

julie, i think what you said was lovely. how blessed we truly are to have the scriptures as well as the gift of repentance. every day we have access to constant reminders to check our pride as we read story after story in the scriptures. thank you for that! it gave me peace in my busy, hectic, chaotic day of motherhood. and p.s. you'll do awesome on your talk on sunday. i'm looking foward to it!!
