had in our lives and boy will he be missed!! Although I am very saddened about him passing from this earth, I am overjoyed that he is with our Father in Heaven and also with his eternal companion Marjorie Hinkley. I will surely miss his sense of humor and his witty personality. I am so proud to have been in his presence a few times and one of those times was in a cane's length away from him. What love he had for Latter day Saints and others all around the world. What a great legacy he leaves behind and how many lives he has touched is endless!I love so many things Pres. Hinkley has said over the years but I think that this one has helped a lot of people including myself.
“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.” ( “Lord, Increase Our Faith,” Ensign, Nov. 1987, 52–53.)
I especially love the part about granting us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment and look to the miracles of the future. Such a strong but simple statement. How that statement from our prophet has gotten me past such hard times in my life and will continue to stay with me for times to come.
Another thing he said that I love but can't remember the exact quote but he said, " You don't look like much, but your all the Lord has."
This is what I loved so much. His humor! Such wit! I enjoyed it immensely.
I am grateful that we had such an amazing prophet and I will miss him dearly!
