today was a day that i'll never, ever forget.
because today i got to shake the hand of an apostle.
we were privileged to have been able to hear Elder Bednar speak today at my in-law's ward.
he was so inspirational, so loving, so honest and i don't think i could ever express my gratitude to such a man. i learned so much when i don't even know if he was meaning to teach. it was amazing, absolutely amazing to be able to experience that.
"in order to be healed, you must first have the faith to not be healed" -- David A. Bednar
once the meeting was done, we spoke of how incredible it was, as we gathered our chairs and headed for the door. we knew that they were going to be walking him out, and to steer clear, so once we hit the hallway and saw him coming our way we immediately stepped back with our backs to the wall to let him pass. he continued walking our way, but once he reached us he stopped and turned to smile at us. he reached his hand out to my brother in law, then to me, then to my husband and it was the most incredible moment to share. i had a goofy smile from ear to ear that i still have while typing this.
the ride home was spent discussing the topics covered, and how incredible it was to be able to listen to him speak. it was in a time of need for each and every one of us. and we were so incredibly blessed...
but to feel the way i felt after shaking his hand, that's something i'll never, ever forget.
