I LOVED being together as a family over Christmas! It was wonderful to have everyone home! My most favorite moments in life are when we are all together.
Tomorrow is a significant day of new beginnings for each of you. New jobs, new states of residence, new shows, new semesters, new classes, new challenges, new adventures and new opportunities await you! It is all so exciting! Isn’t it wonderful to be alive and have the chance to experience these great things?
The Family Proclamation reminds us why we chose to come to this earth to experience these things. It states: “we are beloved spirit sons and daughters of heavenly parents with a divine nature and destiny.” All we do in this life should be preparing us for, and helping us “progress toward perfection and ultimately realize [our] divine destiny as heirs of eternal life.” The proclamation also reminds us that as we experience this life, happiness is most likely to be achieved when our lives are “founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
I hope that as you experience these new opportunities, you will continue to stay focused on the things that you chose to come to this earth to do. The Savior has taught us how we can do that.
“Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not. Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.” Doctrine and Covenants 6:36,37
I love each of you and continually pray for your success and happiness! You have such great potential to be powerful influences for good in this world! As you remember the Savior in all you do, with His help and power and strength, nothing is impossible!
Keep Moving Forward
Love, Mom
