Mrs. Patton--the Story Continues

My thoughts on President Monson's talk "Mrs. Patton--the Story Continues"

President Monson bears testimony so strongly and so profoundly. I remember listening to this talk and thinking of my sister. She too will live again and I will get to see her.

President Monson bears testimony of the Atonement. I understand it so incompletely, but I have faith and hope in it and its promises. I truly cannot comprehend a love on both the Father’s and the Son’s side that they would do this for me, but being a parent gives some insight into that kind of love. OH, how I wish I could give my children a glimpse of that. How often I say a silent prayer and say, “Father please forgive me for my years as a teen and please give my mother an extra notch on the ladder to Heaven because she raised such an ungrateful soul who knew better than she, or so I thought.”

The best thing about this talk is the warm feeling is gives me. How do I pass that to my children—well, you can’t. You can only bear witness and hopefully the Spirit will touch their hearts.
