“And whoso receiveth you,
there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right
hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels
round about you, to bear you up” (D&C 84:88).”
As
2017 comes to a close, our family is reminded of the many blessings that come
from striving to follow the Savior. These past 4 Christmas's the Lord really has been carrying us. His Spirit has truly held on to our broken hearts. He truly is our greatest gift! Our family
can also testify of the presence and power of angels. Glade and Corbin are
always with us and they do in deed “Bear us up!” And while we do not fully
understand this road our lives have taken, we are learning to walk by faith.
This
is the first year I haven’t put together a family photo for Christmas cards. And
it was one of my favorite things to do at Christmas, but to be honest; I
struggle now to take a picture without Glade in it. It breaks my heart. I know he's there with us, but I sure would like to see his smiling physical face. This year featured
below are my cute grandkids. What a light they are to me as are
the rest of my children.
Family
really is everything. Death has taught us this principle in greater depth.
Treasure those you love. We never know how long we have with them “here’ both in
body and in spirit as we journey through this wonderful and sometimes trying earthly
experience.
Much
love to you at this beautiful time of year. Thanks for being wonderful friends.
