Our Prophet

With the passing of President Hinckley I just wanted to jot down some of my feelings about him. I am sure a lot of people have similar feelings about him. He was wonderful and everyone could see that. But for some reason I feel like I just lost one of my best friends. I never met him or talked to him but I felt like he loved me unconditionally. As if everytime he spoke he was speaking just to me. When I think of someone who was Christ-like I think of President Hinckley. He was glowing and magnificent in a way that I think Christ would be (on a smaller scale). He had a wonderful attitude that I want to acquire. He was the only prophet that I really felt close to. He taught me a lot in my youth and I always hung his sayings on my walls. What I will always remember is the feeling that came over me everytime I saw him or heard his voice. I would automatically smile and listen. He had a way of grasping my attention without being loud or overbearing. He grasped it with love. I am striving to heed his advice and his example on attitudes and the better I do at that, the closer I get to my Savior. Thank you President Hinckley for your wonderful counsel and shining countenance. I will miss you.
