Light in the dark!

After packing up our van with all of my Christmas supplies and more last night, we went for a drive around Lloyd. After debating about whether to leave that same day or early the next one, we decided to be crazy and left our home around 11 pm to come back to Taber. Yup, we're nuts like that sometimes.

The drive was quiet, and enjoyable! Marc and I had some good conversations, great laughs and a fun time teasing each other about our early years of marriage. I drove most of the way until my eyes started playing tricks on me then my hubby took the wheel from me (just before Vauxhall). 

At one point, Marc fell asleep. I looked around me and noticed the darkness that was surrounding us. We were all alone on the highway with only our high beams, low beams and driving lights shining the way ahead of us to guide us safely home. As we got closer to the few little towns bordering highway 36, I somewhat felt such comfort, and relief seeing the towns's many lights. It made me pondered about that comforting, and constant guidance I have in my life, the gospel. It has kept me away from a few dark places, and is such a shining, guiding beacon to me on how to live a more righteous life.  I am not much of a ponderer but how neat it was to find spirituality in such an ordinary thing like driving. I felt gratitude for this simple yet spiritual moment. It was a great start to this day filled with uplifting messages from our leaders during this Saturday's General Conference sessions.

What a beautiful Saturday it has been! How blessed we are to have inspiring leaders in the Church to teach us, to counsel us, and comfort us with words that we probably needed to hear. I am looking forward to tomorrow.
