Contact with Family

It was recently announced that LDS missionaries will be able to call home, not just on Christmas and Mother's Day anymore, but every week. This will be a wonderful change for most missionary families, and it hopefully won't be too distracting for the missionaries. This all reminds me how wonderful it is to be able to maintain contact with family.

I'm lucky enough to live at home, so I have regular contact with some of my closest relatives, but even if I didn't, I could still call them, email them, text them, or keep in touch with them through social media. Technology has made it easy for people to communicate with each other.

And, as easy as technology has made it to communicate with our earthly family, it has always been even easier to communicate with God. We can call our parents any time we can pull our phones out of our pockets; we can pray to God any time, period, and He can talk to us just as immediately through His Spirit. Sure, our reception isn't always great, but God can always hear us, even when we can hear Him. The communication may sometimes be one-sided, but it is always available, not once a week or twice a year, but constantly. We can always, always communicate with God.
