11 years ago on Sept 2 Natalie and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. One of the basic beliefs of our faith is that families can be together forever. When a couple is married in the temple any children they have naturally are automatically “sealed” to them. They are covered by the covenant of the marriage they were born into.
When a couple adopts, once the adoption is final they can take the child to the temple and be “sealed” so the child has the blessing of forever family just as if they had been born to the couple.
Today, on our wedding anniversary we had Maggie sealed to us. What a great way to celebrate our anniversary. Now Sept 2 is our family anniversary.
I am so grateful fir the chance to have Maggie in our life and to know that she is part of our family for the eternities.
For that I am truly and humbly grateful!
