Remeber

Remember is one of the most important words.

This week I went to spend some time with my family in St. George.  Grandma Blake and I were walking to our car after swimming and in the grassy field there was a family flying a kite and I had a flash back to when I was a kid. I remembered that my mom would buy us a kite every to spring to fly.  This year our kite was a black triangle with a white triangle flap where the string clung too. This is the year I learned to fly a kite.  I am amazed at the simple-ness of flying a kite but it’s a difficult thing to do. And with that memory also came my mom’s life lessons. Grandma is an amazing woman and has a life analogy for every experience.

With the word remember we can remember where we came from, we can remember why we are here, we can remember our end goal.

We can remember our family legacy. I talked to Grandpa Blake this week and we were talking about family history.  The family history library has produced a family geneology chart and from one ancestor there are 3 descendants, 1 line of descendants are most of the church leaders, on the 2 line there are most of the American leadership, and on the third line which is our line are average people that are anchors in the community and Church.  Remember that is your legacy to be an anchor.  Anchors are used in storms to help the boat from moving. The anchor sits at the bottom of the ocean alone but knows that the captain is in charge and knows that the captain will not forget him.

Remember I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR ANCHOR to your boat and the calm in your storm.

You can remember your moms’ great love for you.  You can remember all the sacrifices that she has made for you.  You can remember that she know who each of you are meant to be.

Each of you chose your name and whispered it to me before you were born.  Each of you chose your name because you wanted to remember something in this mortal life.  And I know why each of you chose your name.  And if ever you’re interested in finding out what you wanted to remember; you can it in my red journal on page 562. You don’t need to ask permission to read it just do it.  All of my journals are for you all to read.

Remember I love you and God loves you.

Leave your heart open to remembering.
