Families can be together Forever

"I have a family here on earth.


They are so good to me.


I want to share my life with them through all eternity.


Families can be together forever.


Through Heavenly Father's plan.


I always want to be with my own family.


And the Lord has shown me how I can.


The Lord has shown me how I can."
-from the Children's song book


“Whatsoever you seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever you bind on earth, in my name and by my word, saith the Lord, it shall be eternally bound in the heavens”
 (D&C 132:46).

Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.

What an amazing day!  We are so grateful for the opportunity to be able to go to the the temple and have Paxton sealed to Remi and I as an eternal family.  After the sealing one of the temple workers asked me how Paxton did, I told her that he did great and was all smiles, but I was crying probably along with almost everyone else in the room.  It was such an amazing feeling when Paxton's grandma brought him into the sealing room and then holding him in our arms.  It feels so great to finally be an eternal family

We are so grateful to have this gospel in our lives and how much happiness it brings us.  I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and wants to bless us and make us happy.  He has blessed our lives!  We are so grateful to have Paxton in our family, he brings us so much joy, what a sweet little boy!!
