I have only been to the Sacred Grove twice. The first time, I was an 18-year-old on vacation with my family. The second time, was a few years ago; I was a parent myself with one of my son’s who was attending a Boy Scout camp near Palmyra, New York.
I wrote the following in my journal that day after a different, but equally special experience:
“I’m not sure what I expected this time…burning in the bosom like last time? Tears? Chills?
“What I got was perfect…as soon as I saw what seemed to be a familiar spot from last time, I had an overwhelming, powerful feeling of gratitude that, in this sacred place, I received a witness of the prophet Joseph Smith and what he said happened here.”
Grounded and Reaching High
- Main idea: God sees beyond your present circumstances. His promises remind you that your story is still unfolding and that truly great things await you.
- Practical takeaway:Study the promises God has given in scripture and your patriarchal blessing, then move forward faithfully and do your part each day.
- One question to ponder: What promise from God could help me look beyond today’s uncertainty and move forward with greater faith, courage, confidence, and hope?
