In the Ensign this month, the following seven steps were suggested to help a family become closer and to help individuals become closer to Heavenly Father:
1) Read the scriptures personally every day
2) Read the scriptures at least five times a week as a family
3) Have personal prayer every morning and night
4) Have family prayer every morning and night
5) Attend church every Sunday as a family
6) Hold family home evening every Monday night
7) Attend the temple every month
(Ryan Carr, "A Temple-Going People," Ensign, October 2009, 14-15).
In another article, we learn more about personal revelation:
"Expecting the spectacular, one may not be fully alerted to the constant flow of revealed communication. I say, in the deepest of humility, but also by the power and force of a burning testimony in my soul, that. . . light, brilliant and penetrating continues to shine. The sound of the voice of the Lord is a continuous melody. . ." (Larry W. Gibbons, "Guided by Modern Revelation," Ensign, October 2009, 10).
As we come upon General Conference this weekend, I pray that I will be able to hear that continuous melody of personal revelation. I pray that I will be sensitive enough to hear in the messages, the answers I seek. I hope that I will then, "go and do. . . " How grateful I am, that Heavenly Father has blessed my life with the gift of personal revelation!
