What you think?

  •   What do you think about being with your family in the world to come? Can you really imagine not having  family with you in the next life? Isn't that where your happiness really comes from?  Some might say Not Mine but honestly what they may not understand is that in the next life, families will have a total different outlook because now they know the plan.  we will have a pure love for those that we may not experience it for at this moment. and yes our hearts will turn!
  •  What was the promise made to the fathers that was to be fulfilled in the latter days / its turning of the hearts of the children to their fathers? It is to connect families, and that is being done right now in the temples that dot the earth today,plus by people everywhere who are involved in geneology with a tremendous desire to connect families and they don't know exactly why.  Its the promise of the Lord made through Enoch, Isaiah, and the prophets of old, to the nations of the earth, that the time should come when the dead should be redeemed” “God made those promises to the ancient patriarchs—Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and on— we undoubtedly made them to our  lineal fathers and mothers, those who came before us to this earth before the gospel was restored. 
  • On 3 April 1836 in the Kirtland Temple, the prophet Elijah appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. why? What was Elijah’s purpose in visiting Joseph and Oliver?  He said he came to confer the sealing power of the priesthood on Joseph . This power makes possible eternal marriage, sealings to parents, and temple ordinance and work for the dead.  
  • My house is a house of order says the Lord!

  •  Why would the earth be “utterly wasted at [the Lord’s] coming” if we did not have these sealings  done?   the answer Because one of the primary purposes of life on earth is to establish eternal family relationships.
    This is the purpose of life and the temples! Without this it would be near impossible to connect families. and thats what its all about " geneology"  and dad takes it very serious, he says they were here just as you and i are here now and have families.
     “no family ties would exist in the eternities, and indeed the family of man would have been left in eternity with ‘neither root [ancestors] nor branch [descendants].’ as the scriptures say.
  •  A sealed, united, celestial family of God is the ultimate purpose of the church/  any failure here would be  rendering the entire plan of salvation ‘utterly wasted'   Wow!  Can you imagine! Hope you found this interesting and it touches your heart as it has mine.
