After we all accepted President Hinckley's invitation to read the Book of Mormon before the end of the year, I've wanted him to again invite us to all do something challenging together. It was so fun, uniting and uplifting and we reaped the promised blessings. Since his passing, I've prayed that President Monson or Eyring would challenge us to do something like that again, together, church wide, world wide to honor his memory. I didn't know what it would be, but as I watched the funeral and wept, I realized that thing would be that we all be better, stand taller, stand strong and immovable for that which is correct and proper... wear out our lives in the service of Heavenly Father as he did... rise early, work hard, stand for something.
I thought he would live into his 100's and was so surprised that he left so "soon". However, I am ready to love and support the next president and prophet while I strive to stand stronger in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I so wish I could have witnessed the waiving of the white handkerchief and cane. such a simple gesture yet very loving to such a great man who will always be remembered.
I say Thank You from the bottom of my heart to him.

scriptures and participating in a very small way
to furthering the church by"blogging". I've never
none it before however I've received such great strength and peace by both reading the messages of Saints from around the States and abroad all unitedby our unfying faith, love, and hope for today and for tomorow. Let's be better "peacemakers" im our daily lives and "walk the walk and talk the talk". Let's make Pres Hinkley and our soon-to-be
president and counselors proud as we stand for what istrue and right is my humble prayer.
We will miss you dearly President Gordon B.
Hinckley.
Thank you Pte. Gordon B. Hinckley for your Legacy.
Thank You for your Years of Service President Hinkley. God Be With you Till We Meet again.
The funeral service, with all those who participated, was a Great Inspiration.
His main Goal was to lift others Up. By so doing he himself was lifted up in the eyes of so many.
"Do What is Right, let the consequences follow."
"Do Unto Others What...."
He lived on those High Standards in Word and Deed.
I'm sure he will get an A++ for his Turn On Earth.
I am grateful beyond words to be a member of this True gospel and to of been lead by such a rightous man.
That love/charity will continue on, despite our dear prophet passing on for now. I hope we can all try to emulate that same love-- this would truly honor his legacy.
