This is cool!

So I was at my parents the other day and saw this quote hanging on their fridge and it just gave me chills reading it, so I thought I would post it here, tell me what you think about it.

You were generals in the War in Heaven and one day when you are in the spirit world, you will be enthralled by those you are associated with. You will ask someone in which time period they lived and you might hear, "I was with Moses when he parted the Red Sea" or "I helped build the pyramids" or "I fought with Captain Moroni." And as you are standing there in amazement, someone will turn to you and ask you which of the prophets' time did you live in? And when you say "Gordon B. Hinckley" a hush will fall over every hall and corridor in Heaven, and all in attendance will bow at you presence. You were held back six thousand years because you were the most talented, most obedient, most courageous and most righteous. Elder Boyd K. Packer

Funny thing is....I don't feel that important. Though I have always felt a little overwhelmed knowing that our kids are THAT much more important than we are. You know? They were saved for a longer amount of time than us...so imagine what strength they must have shown in the pre-existance. And I'm supposed to be the mom to one of these? Rather daunting isn't it?

Glad you posted this, put it on the family blog, please, OK, thank-you. It brought tears to my eyes, our children are special and so are our grandchildren. We must work together as a united family at home and in the gospel to teach correct principles.

Wow, that is pretty overwhelming to think. And like Ashlee said, our kids were saved for longer, they are pretty special. Hope we do a good job raising them.
