These are the three
great questions of life.
Why am I here on earth?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going after I die?

Early this morning,
a dear friend passed away
after many months of suffering.
When D told me that
she was gone,
I laid in my bed and
pondered that
third question
all over again.
I'm glad I have a bit of an
understanding
of the answer.
My friend knew the answer.
She would tell anyone
who wonders to read
this scripture from
the Book of Mormon.
The reference is
Alma Chapter 40 verses 11-12.
It is found on page 308.
.
..Now concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection--Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.
And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.
We are grieving today.
We ache for a husband
and daughters who
are missing
their mother.
We know there
are hard times ahead.
But because of our great faith
in God's plan,
we know it's not the end.
We know they'll
be with her again.
And they know
they'll be with her again.
There is
great comfort
in that.
For all of us.
Are you pondering the
deep questions of life?
Here's something more to think about.
