Spirituality

I love having spiritual moments.  Moments in which you will remember forever.  Today I had such an occurrence.  I woke up bothered by my back once again.  Suddenly the thought came into my head that I should ask for a blessing for my back.  It was so clear to me, it excited me.  As though a blessing is exactly what I should have asked for months ago and I could have forewent the doctors and the frustration.  In either case, I called my husband and asked him if he could get together with someone so that I could get a blessing today.
My husband was excited as I never ask him for blessings.  The last time I asked for a blessing was before my last back surgery and my bishop and home teacher had been a part of that.  He was excited, and because of the holiday, I had forgotten all about it being a scout day.  My husband called his boss (the scout leader) and not only was it a scout day, but it was also the day they took the boys down to do the annual physicals.  The doctor that does these exams is also a member of the church, and he is also someone that went to our sealing.
Chris is a special person in our life for many reasons.  He is the first person who introduced the "book of Mormon" to my husband.  this was long before I met my husband.  But the  sincere gentle way that Chris spoke to my husband, was so moving that my husband to this day remembers it.  Second he was at our sealing because of the first incident.  I have met Chris a couple of times and I get that he carries the spirit with him at all times.  This  is not to say that a lot of people don't, but he has a way about him that is outstanding.  Chris is an oncologist, and he understands my condition because he is a fine doctor.  I spoke to him, and unlike my actual doctors, he never seems confused about any of my medical conditions.
I'm diverting from my story, but as it were, I heard that Chris was going to do these exams, and clarity entered my head, and I KNEW that he had to issue the blessing.
He delivered a very good blessing, that I felt so full of the spirit afterward.  I can't quite describe everything he spoke, of course.  However, I will say that there were two men who delivered the blessing, but I felt like there were three sets of hands on my head.  Every time I thought of a concern, it would be spoken by him.  For example I would think, "Am I going to be healed from this?" and he would say, that Heavenly Father wants you to know you will be healed from your affliction... It was amazing.
I am so very grateful to belong to a church that holds this authority.  It is truly a blessing to be able to belong to this church.  I can say with full knowledge (not hope or faith) But actual full knowledge that this is the true church.
I feel so bad for people who scoff, or mock these things that many know to be true.  My heart aches for people who have had their heart be hurt, scarred and later hardened to the love that God has to offer.
If someone is of a different faith, and they are able to receive His blessings, then my heart is gladdened that they too understand what it is to KNOW that God loves them.
