FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

Earlier I has shared a link to a story about a family in need of our prayers, to read the post go here. Well Dear Victory has returned to His Father in Heaven. The experience has been a faith building time for so many and a good reminder as Victory's mother said to, “Hug your children for me and know that family really is what matters most.” Her quote was taken from here. I know that Families ARE Forever, and that we can be together as families for all eternity through the amazing sealing powers that come through ordinances in the Temple. As I was contemplating last night of what I had happened to this dear family I thought, "The Plan of Happiness really is a plan of happiness. What could be more happy than having your family and the ones you love with you for all ETERNITY!" It brings such peace and joy into my heart and soul to know this is true and to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am also grateful for the knowledge that Jesus Christ mourned with those that mourned. He knows what we are going through and it is okay to mourn loss. I feel such comfort to know that my Savior knows me, he knows my joys and heartaches and is there with me when I need him. I can choose to live in a way that will always allow me to have the companionship of the Spirit, to help led me and guide me. This life is not an easy one but through trials we can become stronger more vigilant sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us. He can and will provide strength to us to overcome ALL things just as His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ overcame all things for US. This day and everyday I echo this sweet mothers words; Hug your children, and loved ones and know that what matters most is family. I do not think we can be reminded of that too often. May God Bless You All Today and Always!
