I have tried to post my thoughts
on this 3 times and all of them
have failed....
sometimes I can be a little long
winded and these were pretty
lengthy posts and I don't want to fail
again at posting
so here is my very
very very simplified thoughts
on these chapters
----------
I have a very strong testimony on the
power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
I know personally that you are never at a point in
your life, where you are so far gone that
the Lord is not happy to forgive you. He
is just waiting for us to come to him and
enter into the comfort of our Fathers loving
arms!!! He aches when we ache, he cries
when we cry, he finds joy in our laughter. He
wants so badly for us to return home to him. And,
he has given us the tools and instructions on how
we can return home.....we just need seek him out!!!
He is waiting ever so patiently to embrace us
when we enter into his Kingdom.

Alright, I am just trying this new way of leaving posts....let me know if it is easier. P.S. I am feeling less angry about not being able to put my full post on here.
Although I had a lot to say, maybe I was just supposed to keep it simple. Have a great night and I will see you here tomorrow.
This will probably be easier Sarah. Daniel, Mason, and I had a wonderful family scripture study together last night before we went to bed. It was so nice to be involved in the work of the Lord and be doing what is asked of us. hopefully there are more nights when we can participate in this together rather than individually as our schedules are so demanding and different. Thank you for your testimony on the Savior. I was reminded of Elder Bednar's talk about the temple that was built on the foundation of the landfill. It was such a beautiful analogy of our Savior's love and willingless to forgive all who come unto Him.
I remember one night after my mission, Jason came home in the middle of the night under the influence of something. Mom and I came out to see what was going on and we saw dad with him in the living room. At that moment I thought that he was going to be upset and yell at him. However, what happened next will never leave me. Dad proceeded to bring Jason on his lap in his rocking chair. He then rocked him and told him over and over again, "I love you son". Jason begin to sob on dad's shoulder as he was held by his father, and simply kept saying I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
That day I gained a testimony of our Heavenly Father's love for his children and how powerful it really is. He loves even loves us in our weakest moments and is just waiting for us to cry to him and be embraced in his arms. But we have to "come home" first and seek that love. I am grateful for an amazing father who has taught me of these profound and eternal principles and I am grateful for my father in heaven and his ability to love me undconditionally.
