F means my Family is Forever

I have a family here on earth, they are so good to me

I want to share my life with them through all eternity

Families can be together forever, through Heavenly Father's plan

I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can

The Lord has shown me how I can.

While I am in my early years, I'll prepare most carefully

So I can marry in God's temple for eternity

Families can be together forever, through Heavenly Father's plan

I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can

The Lord has show me how I can.

I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I have really come to learn over the past two years being away from my parents is that the gospel really makes me who I am and it is a part of my life that I desperately crave, need, yearn for and desire.  At home I was always listening to church music, general conference talks, playing church music on my flute, watching lds talks by speakers for youth, going to Young Single Adult activities, watching firesides and so on.  I loved loved loved feeling the spiritual upliftment that  came as I involved myself in these types of activities.

Going from a single life where there is so much offered to young single adults to married life took a great toll on me because I somehow felt lost in the process of moving away from friends and family and not always seeking out Heavenly Father's help through my struggles.  I forgot a bit about who I was and how much joy I received as I involved myself in being close to the spirit.  I am really grateful now for the struggles and turmoil I went through after getting married because it has now taught me how close I really do need to be to the Lord so I can always be together with my family.

One simple truth that I have always loved about the gospel that we have is knowing that my family can be together forever.  That means when my baby is born and no matter what happens in this life and our time here on earth ends for any individual of our little but soon to be growing family is that we will be together forever.  Every time I reflect on getting married and sealed in the temple I remember the overwhelming joy that I received in knowing that J and I could be together forever.

Preparing to have a baby enter your home is a whole new experience in itself because the love you have for your spouse grows.  When I sat back today and reflected on the fact that J and I created this precious sweet daughter growing inside of me, an overwhelming sense of love came to me for my husband.  I am grateful for his obedience to the Lord for listening to the spirit that has guided us where we are today.  I love that because we have had faith in the Lord that our family can be together forever, and as we exercise this faith in our Father in Heaven we can know the precious truths associated with being a forever family.  So today I guess I am simply just grateful to know and have a testimony that whatever happens in this life that the bonds of matrimony between my husband and I will continue on into the eternities and we will be a family forever with our children.
