Hello and happy Monday!
The importance of family has been my topic of thought throughout this week. The love that can be felt in a Christ-centered home, is unparalleled by any worldly standard. I am so thankful for my loving family and that they continue to love me unconditionally.
This past week was the baptism of Eric Jr. (8 years old). This baptism was a very spiritual experience for all who were present. His dad was the man that was baptized about 3 months ago. It was amazing to see the whole family there to support them, and to see Eric baptize his son, Eric Jr.. Something that the spirit testified to me while we were there is that families are meant to be forever, and that likewise, we are meant to progress forever. This family saw that there are still things they can do to ensure happiness in this life, and in the next.
So how can we apply this? I would suggest that it is by adopting the truth that progression is eternal. That we are not yet perfect, and therefore "fall short of the glory of God." However, through Christ we can be clean, and eventually perfected. This is a comforting thought. I am so thankful for my family. I love you and I miss you! However, there is no other that I could possibly be doing.
I love you all and cherish my relationship with each and every one of you. I pray that God and His angels watch over you, and I know that they do.
Love,
Elder C.R. Anderson
