It may slow down on here!

Dearest Sisters,

Boy, have I been off my game lately!  Sorry I haven't updated for the month of August, I hope you will still be able to use some of the information I put up for the month!

As my own wedding anniversary approaches, I've been pondering the difference between a celestial marriage and one that's "til-death-do-us-part".  I've been so blessed to be married in the temple and know that all of the blessings of a forever family can be mine.  I am also blessed to know that marriages for this life only can be fulfilling and strong, like the marriage my parents have.  When a marriage is based on true devotion and willingness to serve, happiness beyond measure can be obtained.  In the words of Boyd K. Packer,

"In marriage all of the worthy yearnings of the human soul, all that is physical and emotional and spiritual, can be fulfilled."

What a marvelous blessing that is!  May we all strive to strengthen the greatest blessing of families!  This month, take a moment or two to ponder marriage and what you can do to make yours better or what you can do to prepare for one that will not only last this lifetime, but for eternity!
Sincerely,
Eileen DeLeeuw
