Going Home......

Last weekend I went out to my parents to help out with Shipping... Because of crazy schedules and sick kiddos It was just Tiny A with me... It is amazing what you can feel and learn when it is quiet. Tiny A was asleep and as I pulled on to 107 heading to the ranch I could see the mountains, my home.. It was such an overpowering feeling.... I felt and remembered so many feelings I had as a girl growing up here. So many things I had not remembered until this day.. Then I suddenly had the thought that this must be what it is like when we return home to our Father in Heaven. I imagine that in that journey home we will start to see people and things that we have always known, that were always right there in our hearts but until we get to that point we won't remember. It must be such an amazing experience. It then reminded me of the quote that I have right here on my blog...
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass
through the veil
to the other side than to realize how well we know our
Father and how familiar His face is to us..
~President Ezra Taft Benson

I don't think I understood this qoute the way I did on this day... Sometimes it takes these quiet moments to remember the things that are so beautiful to us.. And it gave me comfort knowing that those loved ones that have already gone before us had a beautiful journey of remembrance.
I so loved this drive home and the quiet moments I had feeling the sweet spirit. I took pictures as I was driving out... And when I hit the little road to my parents house I looked up and this rainbow was surrounding the sun... ( I think they call it a sundog or something like that) But it brought me to tears... Even with out the storms sometimes we still get a rainbow to remind us of Heavenly Father's love for us.. I am so grateful for those quiet moments...
