Today Tyler and I had the opportunity to attend the Brigham City Temple Dedication at our stake center so it was on a big screen being aired live. It was our first one ever and it couldn't have come at a better time. We got there a half an hour early and watched a slide show of all the temples that have been built. Did you know that there are 14 LDS Temples in Utah now and 149 LDS temples world wide wow what an amazing and exciting time.
Anyways while I was sitting there I thought about Melissa, Mike and Jessica and how wonderful it is that our faith believes in Eternal families and that one day if I continue to live my life the way the Lord would have me live then I can be reunited with them on the other side. Right now it doesn't make sense or make it easy to understand why but it helps me to know that when life on earth is over that there is more work to be done on the other side and my family will see them again. I sure in deed felt there spirit there and know that they are watching over us.
I sure wish I could see them now here in earth. I'm defiantly not ready to go but I wish they didn't have to go at such a young age. It is hard for me to make sense of it all and I could ask the question why but only the Lord knows why and has a plan for all of us. Yes it may sound like I am strong about it all, trust me I'm not I cry at least once a day whether its a tear or a full on cry fest. But I have to look at it that way or I would go crazy and maybe insane and I have kids and a husband that needs me so I can't be selfish and shut down even though there are times I would love too.
I am so thankful for the gospel in my life and for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and that families can be together forever.
