[10] Grateful for Eternal Families

This Thanksgiving, my dad's side of the family was all together. The only person missing was my brother because he is still on his mission (gets home January 2nd!!!). The last time the whole family has been together like this was 12 years ago. Everyone congregated in Utah this wee so all of my dads siblings could go to the temple with their parents for my grandma's birthday wish. While they were in the temple, the older cousins were able to take the younger kids around temple square. We saw the beautiful lights and the incredible Salt Lake Temple.
Since it was the day after Thanksgiving, we were all thinking about what we are grateful for and I couldn't help but feel immense gratitude for my family. I looked at each of them knowing that because of the righteousness of 2 people (grandparents), that all of our cousins will be able to meet again after this life and live for eternity. I am able to benefit from the amazing blessings of the temple and covenants and ordinances that seal my family together for eternity. I am so grateful for my eternal family!!
