Our Visits With Mormor

Here is a picture of our family visiting John's grandparents at their house.   John's Grandma has cancer which will most likely take her life within the next month or two.  Although this is a difficult time for everyone, we are grateful that we have an opportunity to spend time with her before she passes on.  How lucky we are to have 'time'... so many wish for even a few moments with a loved one after their death to let them know how much they are loved and how much they have influenced and touched the lives of those around them.  We have been reflecting on the privilege of knowing such a wonderful lady in this life.  John has been so grateful for the memories of them he has growing up and for their wonderful example of love and service.  Most of all we are grateful for the hope and knowledge we have of life after death because of the atonement of Jesus Christ.  Because Christ over came death, we will all be resurrected and receive perfect bodies.  Because Christ suffered for us, we can, through faith in Christ and repentance, be made perfect through Christ and have the opportunity to live with Him and God (our Heavenly Father) again forever.  We believe that there we can live together with our families forever.  This knowledge of God plan and His love for us gives us so much hope and comfort in this life.
