One of my favorite symbols is the rainbow, a reminder that God keeps His promises to His children.
This weekend, He kept His promise to me.
My family joined my faith when I was 7 years old. Even then I already had a strong testimony. I believe it is one of the spiritual gifts my Father in Heaven has given me.
When I learned that families can be together after we leave this life, I knew I wanted to be with my mom forever.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t possible. The reason is that the process of becoming united with our family is connected through His priesthood power, & our home didn’t have the priesthood.
I struggled with this & eventually turned to prayer. As I expressed my desires, I received an impression that I needed to be patient; if I lived my life the way He asked me to, that no blessing would be withheld from me.
As an adult, I adopted my daughters as a single parent. Once again, my dream of an eternal family seemed unattainable because there was no priesthood in our home.
My Heavenly Father reminded me that He loved me & that no blessings would be withheld from me if I continued to walk with Him.
Last May, I was blessed to be married to my husband for time and all eternity.
Joy filled my soul that I was finally united forever with someone I loved; but I still felt sadness at not being sealed to my daughters.
Again, I was reminded to be patient.
In November, my daughters decided to ask my husband to officially become their father. We filed the paperwork, & a date was set.
One week ago, my husband adopted my girls. The day was beautiful, but honestly Warren had already been their father before the papers were signed.
But this process opened another door.
I could finally be sealed to my daughters & be united with them eternally.
On Saturday, February 28, 2026, my daughters were eternally joined to my husband and I.
As I knelt at that altar & listened to the sealer’s words, I was reminded that God keeps His promises.
By following His guidance and commandments, I was led to this moment and to the people with whom I now get to share eternity.
He kept His promise to me.
He will keep His promises to you too.
