My Spirit Was Troubled
I recall the days when as a mother the Spirit would work on me or trouble me throughout the day over one child and then would teach me as I would think/ask, ‘what is it?’ about what that child was struggling with. This morning I found the scriptural reference for that-of course I’ve read it dozens of times but here it is:
But behold, hearken ye unto me, and know that by the help of the all–powerful Creator of heaven and earth I can tell you concerning your thoughts, how that ye are beginning to labor in sin, which sin appeareth very abominable unto me, yea, and abominable unto God.
(Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:5)
This tendency doesn't just go away either as your children become adults. You still have the Holy Ghost troubling you and there's less you can do or say about it, but you still know. For some of your children you can only pray, some you can talk to-but they might not be ready to talk about what's troubling them, some you can only cry for.
