"If heaven is nothing more than this,
it will be good enough for me!"
it will be good enough for me!"
This
quote by Marvin K. Jensen is exactly what I feel when spending time with my
family. I absolutely love my husband and
my little boy, Nathan. During times that
we share together, fully engaged with one another, that I understand why the
family is the central unit of our Heavenly Father’s Great Plan of
Happiness. For truly, these times are
when we find the most joy.
I look
forward to the future, when we will have more children and see our family grow
together. I hope to see, one day, each
of my children sealed in the Holy Temple for time and all eternity with their
chosen companions. If I want to see
these dreams become a reality, it is my obligation to take advantage of the
time I have now with my family. I need
to teach my children truth and righteousness; I need to help them develop a
love for their Savior and a desire to please Him. President Eyring said, “Our most important and
powerful assignments are in the family. They are important because the family
has the opportunity at the start of a child’s life to put feet firmly on the
path home.” How accurate is that
statement! The goal of family life is to
send our children to their true home,
that is, their heavenly home. With the help and love of the Savior, I will
be able to instill deeply rooted values of love, trust, honesty, faith,
forgiveness, charity, and virtue, that our children may be able to return to
their Father in Heaven one day.
