How Blessed are We!!!

Our family has grown by two adorable grandchildren this year. We are so happy, so pleased and so blessed. Not only are they beautiful, but they are perfect. We now have 13 grandchildren. We love them all very much and do not take this blessing lightly and thank Heavenly Father everyday for his tender mercies towards our family. I know families are forever. I can not imagine going to heaven and not having my family. It just doesn't make since to have families in this life and to learn to love them and then go to a better place and not have families there. Families are an eternal principle. I think it speaks volumes, that the great God of heaven, Elohim, chose to be called Father. At Jesus Christ's baptism, God spoke and said, "Behold by beloved son in whom I am well pleased". In Romans 8 it says , 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. The relationship between parents and children is an eternal relationship. I know that our family will be together forever and we will live with Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ if we live a Christ like life. May we all strive to be good Christians and to love God by serving and loving his children.
