A taste of Heaven

I have to admit,  I was feeling stressed.  All the wedding plans had taken a toll.  Even though the open house was over I still had worries about  money, jobs, children's jobs, children's schooling, feeling inadequate and on and on.  And then I went to the temple.  Tom and Megan were sealed for time and eternity. 

President Bachman performed the sealing.  He talked about all the blessings and promises with covenants.  It gave me pause.  All my worries, the knots in my stomach, were insignificant.  Sealing, family, eternity, exaltation-that is all that matters. What a joyous day.  I truly had a taste of heaven.
Tom and Megan are so happy and so in love.

 Mark and Jenn were there.  They were sealed 7/7/07

                          Mindy and Jake were there.  They were sealed 9/1/07.  
Cash is 8 months old.

                     Jim and Sarah were there.  They were sealed 7/17/07.  
Grace is one month old.

I'm going to enjoy my time with these three, Karen, John and Dan, the only ones left at home with me.

I am blessed with 2 wonderful parents and I love them.

 I love Dan's parents. ( The man on the left is Megan's grand pa.  He's wonderful too)

So, when all is said and done, yes, I have worries and stress, but, yes, I have it all- a blessed eternal family.  I tasted Heaven and I'm going to remember the flavor and keep it with me.

  1. What a wonderful day! I'm glad you had a wonderful day. What a beautiful, happy couple they are! And I can't believe you had three weddings w/in 2-3 months of each other! You should win some sort of award!
