We Are Not Made For Endings

Income, health, love, and marriage

We all hate for great things to end

Still...we've much more to cherish

Through, Jesus, our eternal friend

Our souls expand

With thankfulness

In our Father's plan

Of happiness

May we ever

By word and deed

Show constantly

We're worshipping 

Though all ends hurt, 

whenever.

    We are made

    For forever!

"In light of what we know about our eternal destiny, is it any wonder that whenever we face the bitter endings of life, they seem unacceptable to us?There seems to be something inside of us that resists endings....
May we “live in thanksgiving daily”
especially during the seemingly explainable endings that are part of mortality.
May we allow our souls to expand in
thankfulness toward our merciful Heavenly Father.
May we ever and constantly raise our
voices and show by word and deed our gratitude to our Father in Heaven and to His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ."

Grateful in Any Circumstances

Ensign, May 2014

Doctrine and Covenants 78: 19 And he who receiveth all things with 

thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the 

things often

This earth shall be added unto him, even an

 hundred fold.
