This is one of my favorite times of the year, going to the Relief Society Broadcast with my mom and sister. We had a couple of little tag alongs with us this time, Ryker and Spencer.
I loved the talk that President Dieter F. Uchtdorf on You Are Not Forgotten.
"As a child, when I would look at the little forget-me-nots, I sometimes felt a little like that flower—small and very insignificant. I wondered if I would be forgotten by my family or by my Heavenly Father.
Years later, I can look back on that young boy with tenderness and compassion. And I do know now I was never forgotten.
And I know something else. As an Apostle of our Master, Jesus Christ, I proclaim with all the certainty and conviction of my heart and soul—neither are you!
You are not forgotten.
Sisters, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances may be, you are not forgotten. No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love.
…God loves you because you are His child. He loves you even though at times you may feel lonely or make mistakes.
The love of God and the power of the restored gospel are redemptive and saving. If you will only allow His divine love into your life, it can dress any wound, heal any hurt, and soften any sorrow.”
I know this talk was for me. Often times I go through each day thinking that no one cares about me and I am forgotten about. I feel that no one other than my family knows that I exist. It is nice to feel the love the Savior has for me as I listened. I am not alone and He has not Forgotten me.
During the Saturday Morning Session, He once again talked about how the lord loves and knows me. It touched me so strongly that I couldn't deny these feelings and I know I need to work on.
It is wonderful to know that these men are so close to the lord that they know what needed to be said.
