I was reading in Ether 7 this morning and thought I'd share a thought. The Lord has just brought the Jaredites across the sea, the children and grandchildren cause wars and contentions, and finally, one side repents of their ways and returns his portion of the kingdom to the rightful heir. Right after this, it's mentioned that the prophets come to warn of idolatry and wickedness. The king executes judgment of those who revile against the prophets, and gives the prophets power to go wherever they please, teaching repentance. No more wars were had in the days of Shule, and here's the thought invoking line: "and he remembered the great things that the Lord had done for his fathers...wherefore he did execute judgment in righteousness all his days."
Assuming the financial crisis is almost over and we continue to get better over the next year and prosperity resumes, it makes me wonder if we'll remember how the Lord blessed us through this hard time, as well as remembering what the Lord did for our parents and grandparents.
Remember to write in your journal how the Lord has blessed your family, that your children may see your love for the Lord and how he has always blessed you.

Wow I like that. Thanks for the thought!
I really do love this. I find it sad that youth today forget the wisdom that the older generation has for us, and the sacrifices our parents and grandparents have made for us. Both Jon's and my parents have helped us out hugely in the years past, and I don't know how we would have survived without them. Jon's grandma just died and something everyone said at the memorial was how she prayed for us more than we could have known, and I wonder how things could have been different if she hadn't. Thank you for your gentle reminder.
