What is the purpose of parenting? I said it was to be able to raise loving, righteous, capable children who will build up society and who will be able to raise children of their own who will do the same. I also really liked the examples that were shared in the class. To protect, and help our children to survive in this world and the eternities.
I had never heard the quote by Orson F. Whitney talking about the sealing power and you children being with you in the eternities. How comforting is it to know as long as my husband and I keep to our temple covenants, our children will always be with us. I was actually wondering about this exact thing a while back. I knew that if you were sealed and lived faithful to your covenants then your children would be sealed to you... but then if your children didn't then they would be lost. That just didn't seem right to me, What would be the purpose of the sealing power if it didn't work. I know that everyone is entitled to agency and can choose for themselves whether or not they are willing to live righteously they will have to suffer for their own choices.
