Families are Forever

After a very quiet day spent in the company of my little family, I am reminded of this ultimate blessing.

I believe that families can be sealed together for eternity. I sometimes wonder how people can believe otherwise. How grateful I am to know that our loving Heavenly Father has provided such a wonderful plan for us. He has made it possible for the relationships we make in this life to be perpetuated beyond the grave. I am so blessed to be sealed to my husband. Our marriage does not end when we die. Because of this, our children are sealed to us as well. If we live righteously, we will be together forever. I can't think of a more marvelous blessing.

I will be taking a little break from blogging, as we grieve with our dearest friends who have just lost their baby. Somehow, my daily activities just don't seem so important right now.

Go hug your little ones!

  8. I'm so sorry, Stephanie. It's so hard when someone loses a baby, add to that that it was a friend, and to that that you are pregnant. Thinking of and praying for all of you.
