Truly Inspiring

We had a lesson in Relief Society on Sunday that has left me pondering for a few days now. And I feel the need to share. I usually don't get very much out of RS too often because it's right during Brooke's nap and she is usually not very happy. Even when some nice person offers to take her for me, my mind is still in "Brooke mode" and I have a hard time focusing. But this lesson grabbed my attention and delivered a short but sweet message that was just what I needed. It was so positive and uplifting and I have been basking in the feelings it left me with for days.

Maybe you have heard this before. It is by Elder F. Enzio Busche and called Unleashing the Dormant Spirit. Elder Busche was raised in Germany and had a happy, normal childhood until WWII started. At the age of 10 he was forced to join Hitler's Youth organization. As a teenager he was enlisted as a Nazi. After the war he was very bitter and had a hard time overcoming the things he saw/did. As an elderly man he was diagnosed with a serious illness. During a time when he was in the hospital, the doctors took him off all the machines keeping him alive and expected him not to last much longer. Elder Busche describes having an out-of-body experience & a vision of beyond the veil and what was waiting for him. After he ended up surviving his illness, his outlook on life changed and this is his message for all us:

The video is about 7 minutes long, but so worth watching. I was so touched and I hope you are too. After learning a little of his background I felt his message especially important for all of us to live today. Watch it during a quiet moment during your day. Reflect and enjoy!
