How many times has your mother had to repeat something she asked for you to do because you didn't do it the first time? Well, growing up with my childhood she had to do that for me a lot. And why do you think she felt the need to repeat herself? Because whatever she asked for me to do she thought was very important.
"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
One of the many places you will find this verse is in 3 Nephi 25:5. This is the only verse that is repeated in all works of scripture. This includes the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. This scripture is talking about the sealing of families so that when we die we may still live with the people we love for all time and eternity. The fact that this verse is repeated in all works of scripture shows just how important our Heavenly Father thinks families are. He places families as the most important unit for His church.
Families are here so that as we go through this difficult journey, known as life, we may be able to support and love each other. Our Heavenly Father knew just how difficult this Earth life would be for us and that is why He placed us in families.
I love my family with all of my heart and I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father has placed me in such a wonderful, kind, supportive, and loving family so that I may be able to live this life with happiness and joy. I love my Heavenly Father for creating a plan to where the people we love on this Earth we will still be able to love and live with when we die. I am grateful that God is ever-knowing and that he is aware of my struggles and triumphs. And because of God's plan I know that families can be together forever.
