i cant remember the entire talk, but i remember one thing he said was a promise wed have if we went, and went dillegently.
he said, the Lord said if we went to the temple, faithfully, that our children and our families would draw closer to GOd, and have a testimoney of this godsple, and...
those families that have family members who are away from the church...those individuals will come back.
so on January 28th (2014) i went to the temple, for an evneing session.
we got to see a new video, was nice.
but my entire drive to go there, wasnt for me, but was for ..you.
son, i hate to see you walk away from faith.
i hate to see you turn your back on gospel. just because you cant see scientifically that it has any truth to it..
i hate to see you loswe out oin such a good thing.
you DONT have to be a "goodie-goodie" to be a good person...or do the right things, or have a faith, based on God and/Or Jesus.
you can be exactly who you are...and still have all of that.
being a Christian makes you better at being who you are.
being a CHristan also means you know your not perfect, and have allot of room to grow up and be who your going to be.
i went through the entire thing, and wept for you in the celstial room.
i cried, because my heart aches so very bad for you.
but at the same time, i cant force you to do anything you dont want to do.
you have your free agency. and can exercize it any way you want to. with God in, or out of your life, with faith as a part, or no part, with religion being a cornerstone, or not..
we are sealed together. and if you want to be with me again, after you die, think about going back to church.
its because of us being seled we could see eachother on the other side of the veil and know in our hearts we are family.
without that, wed know we were but not have the familiarity of it as we do here in this life (if that makes sense).
i imagine its like seeing someone you know, and you remember, but theres no heart-felt xonnection anymore. your just spiritis in the same space.
sealed familes have that knowledge they are connected and will be forever.
i had us sealed together when you were 16, because i was having gastric surgery, and altho the number of ppl who die on the table is next to 0, theres always that slightest chance it could have happened, and i didnt want to leave this life without knowing id know you when you came over to me, as i held your hand and walked you into the afterlife.
ill always love you, no matter what you do..always, and thats forever.
