Good
morning all! I hope your all killing it out there day by day!
This
week is a little different as I want to share something that we are being
taught very steadily by our dear Heacenly Father and leaders of His divine
restored church through His divine revelation and love which captivates an
Eternal Family.
What
is an Eternal family and what does that mean?
The
truth is that it can mean many things but basically it comes down to the
willingness as a family to be perpetuated beyond the grave, to be sealed
together and live with each other forever, always progressing and trying to be
better in the presence of God and His son Jesus Christ. Eternal life or
Exaltation has always been a family matter as Salvation is much more personal.
Salvation comes to all as we do as our Loving heavenly asks of us and
inevitably Eternal life and Exaltation fall into place as we keep on and stay
obedient to Heavenly Father's loving instructions.
As
we learn the basics and the gifts of the ability to live with each other
forever we can come to except and act upon what is being asked of us. From the
very beginning of my mission I was told something that I will never forget my
Spanish teacher in the MTC who had told us that, "Heaven is not heaven
without my family".
I
think about this phrase so many times, sometimes more than once a day. As I
think about this phrase I wonder why is it that so many people will not be able
to enjoy a blessing such as this. Sometimes I fear that I will loose this
blessing as I have family struggles much like everyone else. God does have a
plan for us. He loves us and wants our Eternal happiness and progression. Much
of that progression is meant to be made here however. Many of you might say
this comes down to a very black and white personality but unfortunately the
second coming of Jesus Christ comes closer every day and much of us have such a
long way to go including myself.
Heaven
in not heaven without my family. I urge each of you, all of you, friends and
family alike to think about what that means and what changes in your life need
to be made so that we can all live with our families forever and ever in the
sacred joyful presence of Heavenly Father and His son our Savior Jesus
Christ.
Remember
we are here in this time and place for a reason and each of us has a part to
play in these last days.
I
love you guys so very much! Each of you are so important to me and the reason I
feel the constant need to show everybody else the blessings that await them as
they act.
