The Plan

Today, I feel that I need to express my gratitude for the great plan of Salvation.  Yesterday, was a tough and emotional day for our family.  We were informed that Ted's Aunt had passed away.  Aunt Viv will be missed.  She was close to us and our children.  I loved her dearly.  Thinking about her today, brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face.  I have cried A LOT the last 24 hours.  I am sad.  BUT, I want to share what this has done for me personally.  Viv and I had several religious discussions.  I loved her honesty and she loved me...even though I was one of those Mormons!!  We did not see eye to eye where our beliefs were concerned.  She came to church with Ted and I a couple months back.  She was so funny.  She said that she loved it, loved being at church.  She also said that Her Mom was probably rolling over in her grave.  (I thought...yep, for joy!!)  but didn't share that with Viv.  Viv didn't make it to church with us again, but I know where she is.  I know who she is spending her time with today.  I know that I will see her again.  I know that her family, left here on earth has work to do.  I am excited for the day when I get to see her again.  I know, that when we have the work done for Viv, she will accept it whole heartedly.....and when I do see her again, I will try not to rub it in that I WAS RIGHT!!!

The Plan of Salvation is known for a reason!! I know in Heaven she will accept the gospel whole heartedly. She will learn to love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as much as you do. She may have not made it to church again here on Earth, but she will never miss a meeting again where she is. Love you Lady!!

Sorry about your Aunt Viv. We are thinking of you guys. Thank goodness for the plan, I know I would be pretty miserable without the peace and answers it brings.
