The day started with my nephew getting baptized and joining the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am so proud of him for choosing to follow the example of our Savior and being baptized by immersion by one who holds the proper authority. I could feel so much love in the chapel when Aaron was confirmed a member and given the gift of the Holy Ghost. I could feel the love of our Heavenly Father for all of His children, and how happy He is when we start on our path back to His presence with the ordinance of Baptism. The Plan of Salvation is true and wonderful, and it is only made possible by our Savior, Jesus Christ who preformed the ultimate act of love by suffering for our sins in Gethsemane and again on the cross at Golgotha. I know my Savior, Jesus Christ lives and because He lives, I know we all will live again and we will have the opportunity to live with our families and our Father in Heaven for all eternity.
Not only could I feel the love of God for His children, I felt the love of my earthly father. I felt like he was there with us, watching over us, and that he was proud of his posterity. The veil is thin, especially in life event days, and I love knowing my dad is still with us in spirit. We will one day be reunited and never separated again. The love of God and the love in our Eternal Family is amazing.
Witnessing Aaron's baptism was the best way to celebrate this day of love, in all its forms. I am lucky to be loved so greatly and that I get to feel love so powerfully.
Hope and love are the greatest feelings in the universe.
