Jogging the Journey: Families Are Forever

One the significant beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or Mormons) is that the family can be an eternal unit. Relationships formed in this life, do not have to be "till death do you part".

That is something that gives me incredible strength, and that I believe with all my heart.

For me, the greatest joy I have ever felt has been associated with family members...the birth of my son, my wedding, holidays together, vacations, to name a few. I know that joy can continue forever. To me that provides great comfort and strength, especially when death or other circumstances hinder those relationships while we are on earth.

I know God has a plan for us, and families are central to that plan. Some may not feel joy with their family, and may not want to spend time with them. Many suffer from the effects of divorce, abuse, addiction and other harmful decisions. Many want to marry or have children but cannot.

I know that whatever situation we face, we can find strength and peace through our loving Heavenly Father's plan for us. He can heal our families and our hearts. He can mend broken marriages, and wounded relationships. He can provide companionship when you feel you have no one to call family or friend.

I would love to share more with you! These principles mean everything to me, and I am completely confident they can bless and enrich your life. In fact, if you follow the teachings of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I promise your life will change for the better.
