I had a funny experience a couple nights ago. I've neglected my scripture reading for a long time, I'm not going to tell you how long because it's embarrassing, but I've made a new goal for myself to read every night before bed. I want to be a good example to my Young Women and how can I tell them to pray and read their scriptures if I'm not doing it myself? Anyway, this particular night I was so tired and seriously grouchy. As Tom was in the line of fire I was taking it out on him and not being a very sweet wife. As I sat in bed I decided that I would read a few verses but didn't want to start a new chapter in the Book of Mormon, so I just opened my scriptures to D&C 25. This is one of my favorite sections because it's given to Emma Smith in regards to the trials that she's facing and it talks about music. This is the verse my eyes fell on first...
14 Continue in the spirit of meekness, and beware of pride. Let thy soul delight in thy husband, and the glory which shall come upon him.
If you've seen the death look that I can send out to certain unfortunate souls, hopefully you've never been one, then you know what look I sent Tom after reading this verse. As he sat there with a completely bewildered and innocent look on his face I just bust up laughing. What are the chances that I'd read that verse right then? I guess it was something I desperately needed to hear.
