Prompted to Remember

I was thinking of Joseph Smith and the different ways he has been an example to me. This is a completely random thought for me. I don't usually dwell on Joseph Smith...but yesterday morning was different.

My family began an adventure in homeschooling, but the way it came about was not such a great experience. This is what led me to Joseph Smith.

Joseph Smith was a boy when he began questioning those around him. He was not sure which church to belong to. He questioned the priests and ministers. He questioned his parents and siblings. He went so far as to question his Father in Heaven. And he received an answer. 

If Joseph Smith, a boy of 14, could question his Heavenly Father, and know that he would receive an answer, can't I? Shouldn't I be able to trust that the answer I receive is true? Shouldn't I trust that answer and follow its guidance?

I should, and I did. 

I am thankful for Joseph Smith's example. I am thankful for the Holy Ghost in prompting me to remember him and to think of him this morning.
