difference

I’ve read the scriptures a lot in my lifetime. Certain verses are used in church more often than others, and are generally more familiar when you hear them. But sometimes, when you hear them in a certain setting and with a certain voice, they sound a little different. Such was the case yesterday, as I sat in a coordinators’ meeting at the temple and listened to this girl read a scripture she had chosen for a short thought. It was the quality of her voice that caught my attention. I stopped and marveled at the words, because they had been offered to me in a different way. Makes me grateful for my ears and my willingness to listen. Maybe I would read the scriptures more if someone with a nice voice read them to me.
