Day 116, April 24

Today is Larry's and my 40th anniversary.  How can that be?  (After all, I am only 29.  Never mind that I have three children older than that!)

Larry and I have survived pregnancy, childbirth, and teenagers.  (Really, I did the surviving of the first two.)  We have survived flooded basements, car accidents, and the deaths of parents.  We have survived in-laws, out-laws, and tax laws.  In short, we have survived.

Much of the reason for that survival is that we were sealed in the Lord's holy temple.  Those sealing powers, exercised by a worthy Priesthood holder, gave us reason to keep going when things looked most bleak.

So, for today, I am grateful for the sealing powers found in the Lord's house
