Dear Child

It would seem that moving into the house and getting settled is so peaceful that I do not have much to write about and no pictures to post. I just prepared a young women's lesson about our devine potentional and found a wonderful letter that Heavenly Father could very well send to each of us. I thought I would include it. Never hurts to remember who we are!

Dear Child,

I remember well the day you left my side, wandered through the veil and ventured forth to fulfill your earthly mission. I had a tear in my eye each time I clothed your spirit in a cloak of love and sent you off to school. Be assured that my thoughts are with you, now as always. I love you with all my heart. I know your life, the good and the bad, your grief, your disappointment, your unrewarded efforts, and your frustrations. But always remember, all that I have is yours if you will only come home again.

Child, realize that in you I placed a bit of heaven. I love you. You have some blessed gifts, some talents, and some small part of me in you. Search for them, develop them, use them, and most importantly, share them with others. If you really love me, then help others find themselves and lead them to me. Show your love by serving others. Repent of your failings and be humble. Make yourself ever teachable and continually strive to improve. I gave you weaknesses to help you be humble. Don’t let discouragement engulf you. I’ll come if you need me.

My child, cease your idle contentions, be a peacemaker, for it breaks my heart to see so many of my children fighting. If they could only see what I have hoped, planned, and desired for them. But you, my faithful child, are my hope. It is through you that my work must proceed. You haven’t much time and there is so much to be done. I beg you to get started. Be diligent in my work and my kingdom shall be yours. Accomplish the mission I gave you.

I’m nearer to you always than you might suspect. I have so much I’d like to tell you. Come to me often in prayer. I love to talk to you, my beloved child. I’d love to take you in my arms, but I too, must wait patiently. That time will come. Until then, I leave you with my peace, my blessings, and my love. Never forget, I am near by if you need me. I love you and miss you so very much and oh, how I am looking forward to your return again to your mother and me.

All my love,
Your Heavenly Father
