We are told that the Lord will reveal unto our minds things past, things present, and things to come. There is a certain amount of qualification that could be had by becoming possessed of a knowledge of things that are past; that is to say, in reference to ourselves, to the things we have done in the past – those duties imposed upon us. There is a satisfaction and an enjoyment in such reflections.
And then when we reflect upon the future, and the exaltation that the Lord proposes to bestow upon us, there is joy in that. There is great enjoyment to be had in having done right in the past, and meditating upon the fact, and feeling that we are doing right now, because it is the privilege of every Latter-day Saint to know when he is doing that which pertains to the things of the Lord.
– Lorenzo Snow (April 1898)
And this blog serves as a good reminder of things past, and some present, and even ocassionally makes me think about things to come. Thank you for those reflections Ardis.
