The Proclamation Series: Eternal Truths

This post is based on the first Paragraph of The Family: AProclamation to the World.

"WE, THE FIRST PRESIDENCY and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children."

I know that the topic of marriage now a days can cause a lot of up roar. I don't wish to argue about human rights or any other of the hot topics that come with it. If you do not agree with what I have to say and what I believe, that is your opinion. And like any of my other posts I ask that we be respectful of each other and one another views. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinion. 

That being said I can continue. 

I do believe that marriage is to be between a man and a woman. I firmly believe that this is the way that God appointed it to be. He intended for families to be created and set up in a certain way for the benefit of all. Children need both a mother and a father to love and care for them. This topic, among others I will state shortly, will be discussed in upcoming posts. I believe that the family is essential to Gods eternal plan. Families provide support, unconditional love, and help us reach our full potential.  

I said God eternal plan; the word eternity is not one that is often used or spoken of. Then when it is used it can have different meaning. When I speak of the word eternity I mean that life does not simple stop after death. We have an unlimited amount of time ahead of us. This concept honestly blows my mind. I don't have the capacity to understand what an eternity is. I have this unlimited amount of existence ahead of me to continue to learn and progress. Honestly, I can't grasp how truly amazing that is. But I am not even doing it alone, in fact I can't do it alone. I will have my family that I have thankfully been blessed to be sealed to for eternity. I also, have an eternal companion who I get to take this whole journey with. That just puts so much more meaning into the sealing and the covenants that I am to make in a few short months. My fiance is the man that I, with God, have chosen to enter into a divine and everlasting covenant with. That is just.... wow!

Now I understand that this post was very packed full of information and vernacular used in the LDS religion. I know that some may not know what I am speaking of.
