Working for Eternity by Meredith Tuttle

In my life, I wear a lot of hats.



Some of which I could live without (anyone wanna come over and clean my powder room??),
but a few I get to wear forever.  And I'm so grateful for that! 



Thanks to being married in the temple (at the ripe old age of 19),
my little family has the chance to be together forever.



I don't think we fully appreciated the eternal promises entered into on our wedding day
until we welcomed our little boy two years later.

Babies are beyond perfect
(their little habits of never sleeping at night and giant poop explosions aside)
and upon meeting our little guy I thought, "I can't imagine life without him!"

Heavenly Father put in us the ability to love our kids more than anything and then He allowed us to be together forever.

What an amazing blessing!


 Families can reach beyond the grave and they're meant to.
I love that I know that, and I love having that goal to strive for every day.

  1. "mK." Love that.

    "I don't think we fully appreciated the eternal promises entered into on our wedding day

    Love that, too. I think parenthood makes the plan, the covenants, the Atonement all mean so much more.

  5. Great reminder of the importance of all my hats, even the ones I'd rather do without that I don't have to have in eternity. (Will our celestial mansions require mopping? I hope not!)

  9. I often think of the feeling I had when I gave birth to my first born. He was absolutely beautiful and perfect and instantly there was never life without him. And the feeling reoccurs with every new addition to our family. They have always been with us and I don't know life without them.

  12. I love the idea of framing family history - I think it will really demonstrate the importance that our family in the past plays a role in our family now. I would love to have this!
