Megan & Dan Sealed Together Forever

D&C 132:19 " And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them- Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection...and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths...it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world..."

My niece Megan got married to Dan Rowley on August 8th in the Reddlands temple. It was a blessing to be able to go and support her in this wonderful, exciting time. The Thursday before we attended the temple for Megan and Dan's endowments. It was so wonderful and peaceful to be there with Jeff, my mom, my sister Jen and her husband. It was also great to see that Dan has an active and supportive family too. Jeff and I even got to be the witness couple. I love that I get to hold his hand some of the time!

I was so grateful to be in attendance at the sealing because hearing the promised blessings of the marriage covenant strengthened my testimony. I was crying because I felt the spirit so strong. The sealer talked about the plan of salvation from beginning to end. It reassured me how much our Father in heaven loves each of us. His plan of happiness is to do just that give us happiness in this life and forever.

I am so proud of Megan that she has made righteous choices that have enabled her to go to the temple and enjoy these blessings that Heavenly Father offers us. I remember when she was just a little girl and would sing songs to me like "you got a friend in me" from toy story. It has given me a little glimpse at what it will feel like to see my own children sealed to their spouses in the temple. Thanks for your great example ......... Congratulations Meg!
