Finding the beacon

So today I had to make a trip to Edmonton. I had to do it for work. This is pretty much the only time I ever go to Edmonton. I would consider myself a Calgarian now and therefore I dont like going to Edmonton. lol ;) I remember a few months ago I had to make a similar trip. The weather conditions weren't great and it was a struggle to make it there. I didnt know the city and I got lost. I needed to find a gas station that sold Diesel. This was pretty tough. I got even more lost because of bad directions from a gas attendant that didn't speak great English.
I started to worry. I was on a time budget and needed to get home quickly. I started to call friends who were familiar with the area. I got a hold of a very close friend, who was able to direct me. The next thing I did was to call my mom. As I drove along she was able to comfort me and help me to feel safe again.
I ended my conversation with my mom so that I could concentrate on driving. I had been driving for a while and was beginning to become certain that I had somehow missed my exit to head back home. Worry again enveloped my mind. I began to scan my surroundings to see if my chance there were any clue as to where I was or if I was on the right track. As I rounded a corner the Edmonton Temple came into view. It was a beautiful white building. A white spire shot into the air and I could see the golden statue of the Angel Moroni. The Spirit flooded my heart. All fear was swept away. I knew my course. I hadn't missed my exit. The spirit seemed to confirm I was going in the right direction. 

 I know in my life sometimes I am scared or am worried that I am not going the right direction. Maybe I am not even on the right road.

The Temple is my beacon. It helps me to know when I am pointed in the right way. 

When you feel lost look to the Lord and he will show you the way. He will be there for you. He will come to you in a way that you will best be served. I know that he always sends me a friend. Most of all he inspires my angel mother. I know God loves me because of my mother. She is wonderful. She helps me to see the beacons in my life.

May we all walk the path with eyes wide open. So that we may see the hand of the Lord guided and watching over our step.
