There´s a song called "Nothing Can Separate Us" by Zac Love (it´s on LDS.org ***see the link below) and it is a beautiful song about family that has caused my heart to swell within me several times down here.
One
day when things were REAL hard for me I layed on my bed as I listened
to this song. I then looked at a picture of the Tree of Life and as I
noticed the people rejoicing around it. I suddenly saw in my mind, myself
around the tree, with Dad and Mom then Ynez then Zoe and all, and I
felt such a powerful joy as we took count, eagerly asking "Are we ALL
here!?" and feeling just how unacceptable it would be to lose ONE,
Lucien, or ANYONE. I felt such a Christlike and undying and eternal love
for you and how you all not only HAVE my heart but ARE my heart, and
how by having you all eternally with me would literally be a fulness of
joy, and literally for me, a full heart.
As my
mind was carried off in these tender thoughts, I suddenly realized
this has an application much larger than just us. I looked to pictures
of my Savior and felt those same feelings again, how my Heavenly Father
wants me eternally reunited with Him and how much I want to one day feel
His embrace and the embrace of my Savior. I truly felt and understood
the JOY of eternal families and why this plan is in force and that
eternal glory which awaits us as we just press on. It cannot be
explained but by the grace of God, at times it can be felt in the soul.
:)
I love you, and because actions speak louder
than words, my goal at this time is to DO and to BECOME those things
that will allow our eternal union in the Celestial Kingdom.
