Love Who You Love!

LOVE WHO YOU LOVE

WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE

AND DON'T WASTE THE TIME THAT FLIES SO FAST!

LOVE WHO YOU LOVE

AND SAY THAT YOU DO

HOLD ON AS TIGHT AS THEY'LL LET YOU!

P.S. I love you.

SAY YOU LOVE ME...

SAY YOU LOVE ME...

THEN WRITE IT IN A NICE NOTE!

WRITE IT IN A NICE NOTE!

Verbally communicating the little phrase "I Love You" can have a wonderfully positive impact on any relationship. Sure you can rationalize that if you say it on occasion than the person shouldn't forget, but I guess don't take any chances on that one. Maybe the person doesn't forget, but loves to be reminded that they are loved.

So say "I love you" to someone you love today!

Or write it in a nice note :)

I Am Not The Only One.

In an effort to view the family through the eyes of others I sent out an email to a couple of friends and family that said,

"I just would love it if you could tell me one reason you are thankful that we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have the knowledge that families can be together forever?"

I was humbled as people shared with me their deep love for their own families. I am surely not the only one who wants to be with my family forever. I guess no matter how much family members, especially siblings, can drive you crazy, or how difficult it may be to watch family members make decisions that cause you pain, we all feel a deep sense of love because of the bond that is created in the family unit.

I have been reassured that even through the difficulties of family life, because it is not going to be an easy road, the truth remains; family will bring the most joy.

When we truly understand the concept that families can be together forever, we will do everything we can to be worthy to meet them again. We will do everything we can to keep the eternal perspective and not let the unimportant issues get in the way of building familial relationships.

The most prevalent answer sent to me by way of email is this: everyone finds comfort in the fact that families can be together forever. Because death is inevitable, it is nice to know that it is not the end. The family relationships will continue in the life to come. I know that is true. And I am not the only one.
