My book...

Our ward has a Women's Retreat each year. This year we stayed here instead of renting a cabin. I was asked to teach one of the classes on Blogging and the internet at the beginning of September. Well it motivated me to do something I have wanted to do for a long time. Make my blog into a bound book for my family. So I called a friend to teach me how to use the software. I also taught a friend how to create a blog for herself so I would be able to help the sister's create one for themselves if they wanted to. For one whole week I would set a couple hours during the day to edit my book. I finally finished after a week and sent it off by a click of a button. It said I would receive it on the 2oth of September. Perfect timing I thought for the class. I watched for the Fed Ex truck everyday. Nothing came until Thursday. I couldn't even control myself I was so excited. It came just in time!

This is how it turned out and it was so worth it! I am working on 2009 and hope to get it done for Christmas for my kids. I love it and it has inspired me to keep up on my blog. I am so grateful for software and computers so I can have these things to bless my life for good.

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
