I love this beautiful wall art and today after a long day of church and time with my best friend and her family I just keep thinking I am so blessed. I belong to many families. Talking to my Bishop today and I said that I now have my church family and I love time at church. Realizing I have so many great families makes me appreciate everything I have. After getting married it was honestly hard seeing many other married couples having kids around us. We finally became pregnant and I thought this was now the family I would have. Things changed and it's sill just Andrew and I and yes there have been many times where I have felt that two people are not a family. I have been so wrong. I have always agreed to the fact that families are made up of so many different combinations of people. They often say losing a child is the hardest thing and can really take a toll on marriage. It hasn't been easy but Andrew and I have grown stronger. What has helped over the past 6 months especially is knowing that families are forever. I as a Mormon believe in eternal families. What a gift to know that even though I was pregnant with my son for only 5 short months..that I have him eternally as my son. Wow. Think of that for a bit. Forever united. Forever in a state of utopia with those you love most. I don't know about you.. But I am all about being with my family forever. To learn more check out the plan of salvation. If unsure feel free to research on lds.org or even chat with a Mormon on Mormon.org...or call the local missionary office for a lesson of your own!
Grow your families,grow your love, grow your faith.
