Well, emotionally this has been a few weeks living on a roller coaster ride of emotions. How grateful I am for a loving husband and a knowledge of the Gospel.
I am not sure what I would do if I didn't have the Savior to walk beside me and to know that I will see my nephew Tyler again one day. I know that one day we will meet again and he will run up to me and say Hi, Aunt Patricia, Love you. The joy I will feel saying the same back keeps my spirits up.
So what do I believe, Well on Week one of my adventure of saying what I believe I did the First Article of Faith. Today is number 2.
We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.
I am so glad to know that when I see God and Jesus Christ and am judged, I am only judged for what I have done. It is hard enough to know that, but to think that I would be judged for ancestors transgressions that go back to Adam is terrifying.
Most of my immediate ancestors were wonderful people, but who knows what lurks in our family tree that we have not discovered yet. To even contemplate that we could be punished for things we did not know seems unfair some how.
I like to think of a parent. Would you punish your grand child for things your child did when he/she was little? I bet not. Then why would our Father in Heaven punish us for those who came before us.
For me, returning to Heavenly Father is full of hope, love and joy. If I had to worry about all things before my life, I am not sure if I would have the hope and knowledge to expect love and joy in that meeting.
How grateful I am for a testimony that tells me of the great love and joy our Father in Heaven has for each of us.
