Paige's Headstone...

The phone rang this morning and it was the cemetery letting me know Paige's headstone had come in and it was placed. I quickly gathered some flowers from home to put in the vase. Amberly is home sick with a little sore throat so she was able to come too. It was a wonderful feeling as I drove up to see her brand new shiny headstone in place! It brought me great joy! It has been three months since little Paige died. I know that I have done everything I could do for my eternal little girl here on earth. It is beautiful! I just can't wait to see her again!!!

It brings tears to my eyes to see the joy that is found in your eyes. You, truly have come to know the Lord, through your extremities. He radiates in your life. What a beautiful woman you are. What a gift you are to your family. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Thank you for the light you emanate. You are example to more then you know.; October 28, 2011 at 10:20 AM

"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."
