I was thinking about the saturday morning when I received the news, It's still as clear as the day it happened. I can still see exactly where I was and hear my Dad's voice. The first thoughts that went through my mind that morning were of how much Heavenly Father loved me, and loved our family, and loved Nelson. And that this was an opportunity to draw closer to him and to our Savior Jesus Christ. The other day I was reading my scriptures and I'm sure it was no accident that I turned to these verses.
Alma 26: 35-37
Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yeah, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away; even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, my joy and my salvation, and my redemption from everlasting wo. Yea, blessed is the name of my God, who has been mindful of this people, who are a branch of the tree of Israel, and has been lost from its body in a strange land; yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God, who has been mindful of us, wanderers in a strange land.
Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen.
I know because of the Savior and our Father in Heaven we will all be okay. We will make it through the many challenges of life.
