Today, my youngest brother, Alrek, was baptized. It is always good to see family and be joined for such an occasion as we were today. Alrek is such a handsome guy, and I love him although I feel more like an aunt to him than a sister. I really think that when he was really little he didn’t realize that I was his sister. I enjoy events like this, especially when it brings family together.
I love the little glimpses of eternity that I get sometimes; the moments that help me to realize that this earthly existence is so miniscule compared to eternity. I am but a weak and simple being, and I often wonder what my spiritual potential is. The really neat thing about thinking along those lines, is that I begin to wonder not only what my potential is, but that of my sweetheart and my children. What kinds of things are we really capable of? I feel so blessed to have such three beautiful, strong, intelligent children. They are so beautiful in many ways. My husband has so many talents and strengths, and sometimes I fell unworthy of the task that is set before me. I am grateful for the knowledge of eternal families, and for me, right now, that means that I can and should try my hardest to be the best I can be, but that I don’t have to get it exactly right because that is what eternity is for.
