For Time and All Eternity

Marriage between man and wife is a HUGE part of our Heavenly Fathers plan. It is something that is sacred and essential to receive all the blessings that God has in store for us, His children. Eternal marriage is a HUGE blessing that we have from Heavenly Father. Marriage is intended to last beyond life on earth, hence the reason why we call it "Eternal Marriage." Because Eternal marriage is such a sacred ordinance, the marriage ceremony takes place inside of a building that is dedicated to be a House of the Lord. This sacred building is called a temple. Today we are so blessed to have temples dot the entire earth!
Here is a photo of the Salt Lake City Utah Temple


When a couple goes into the temple for their marriage ceremony, they are literally sealed or bound together for the rest of their lives and throughout all eternity by someone who holds the authority of God to do so. This authority is called the Priesthood. Men who are given this authority to seal couples to each other hold a huge responsibility. How amazing would it be to seal a couple who is in love to each other for the rest of eternity

Have you ever been in love with someone? Are you in love now? Picture yourself and this person you love, being able to have to opportunity to not just be a couple now but to be a couple after you die. To have each other for ever...and ever, not just for now. Is that not just the most magical thing? It makes fights seem completely pointless. It makes the validity of your love that much more real. It makes you really change your perspective on life and your family.

I love the blessing that we have to be sealed to the one we love for time and all eternity. I can't wait to be sealed to someone I love for time and all eternity. I wrote a song a while back after blessed with an eternal perspective of my life. I realized the things that I want now and the things that were once important to me that now aren't. I want to be sealed to someone that I love for time and all eternity. Don't you? It's possible for each and everyone of us. All we need to do is prepare ourselves spiritually so that one day we can have the amazing blessing of being sealed to our husband or wife for time AND all eternity. Here are the lyrics to the song I wrote :)


Divinely Through You

I've waited my whole life for things to make sense like this
All of these lessons learned were taught amiss
that life we see with just the eyes
It's the eternal things that have always been disguised
The things now I want are beautiful and true
The only way I found this was divinely through You

You are the ray of hope that lit the path for me
It's simple, eternal but without you how could I have seen
The things this life has in store I realize now are so much more
I feel fulfilled like life's complete,
maybe it's because you are the one for me
The things now I want in life are beautiful and true
the only way I found this was divinely through you

Now that I have this new perspective on life
I need to live it, breathe it, despite the strife
With you by my side I know I can get by
times will be hard but in the end worth the try

Life's beautiful blessings are such a joy
Family is real, eternal not just some toy
The abilities we have to show love one to another
were exemplified by our loving Savior, our Brother
The challenge we have is to learn and be like Him
Now with You in my life this seems more possible than it's ever been

Now that I have this new perspective on life,
I need to live it breathe it, despite the strife
With you by my side I know I can get by
times will be hard but in the end worth the try

The things now I want in life are beautiful and true
the only way I found this was divinely through you
