Sunday Spirit

I taught a lesson on honoring your parents and sustaining your family members. I was probably not the best one to teach this lesson. I explained that it is really easy to honor your parents when you don't live with them and don't have to follow their rules anymore. It is also quite easy to sustain your siblings when you don't see them everyday. But as I thought about back when I was a kid, it was definitely hard to do both of these. So maybe a few apologies are in order here. Miranda I am sorry for almost suffocating you in the sleeping bag box, and breaking your nose with the door knob to your own door. Melissa, sorry about ratting on you alot. Stacey sorry about just being mean to you almost all of the time. And Bubba, sorry about pestering you endlessly.

While attending the Draper Temple Open House, we watched a little video in the church while waiting to be bused to the temple. In the video Jeffrey R Holland talked about Heaven and the celestial kingdom. He said he could not imagine heaven without his wife. I loved what he said, but think I would add, I could not imagine heaven without my sisters and parents. I love my family. I love to spend time with them and love to just talk to them on the phone. I love the things they teach me, they help me be a better person. I can't think of anything better than an eternal family. I am thankful for my little family along with my sisters and mom and dad.
