When My Mom passed away 2 weeks ago, my heart was stirred. I was reminded again of a scripture that came to me 20 years earlier when my Aunt Linda Passed. In Alma 34:31-36 the plan of Salvation is discussed. It hits me to the core every time. Especially in now when it comes full circle for me. Having just lost my mother and watching her and taking care of her this summer was a joy. We talked about many things, things she wished she could have more time to do them and things that she knew she had done, and was proud of. I think we all have those same thoughts of that was a great accomplishment of wow I can not believe I have not yet done that may be tomorrow I will work on doing that. Yet tomorrow never comes for that one thing we keep wanting to do.
So in Alma 34:33 And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many awitnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
Mom always wanted to write a book for children. But to my knowledge she never was able to. I have sense high school had a great love for my Savior and all that he has done for me, in fact My Senior Term Paper was on the Life of Christ. I have on an off tried to write a book that I would be able to share with others that would strengthen there testimony of him. I decided after my mom passed that I could no longer wait and so I have started this endeavor. I have started another blog called A work in progress.
I have been having a hard time concentrating to night and was disappointed that I was only able to write 1 paragraph. But none the less I did write. I wanted to find my journals that I had in middle school because it has the account and the impressions that I received in a dream that cautioned me about this year. I must be prepared for this year. I have seen the Lords hand in all things and he never ceases to amaze my spirit. I am going to look again tomorrow and see what I can see?
I thank him for the amazing Family and Friends that he has given me to help me through this life. For it is with them that the Plan of Salvation makes perfect sense, for I want to be with my family forever and I can only do this by using the road map laid out to each of us in the scriptures.
My love to all.
