movies

My thoughts begin (for the sake of otherwho might try to follow, note this is not situational or chronological.) First it is a scene from Dune where the Benejesert Mother has cone to test Paul and his mother,lady Jessica fears for him, but he survives the trial of the box proving his worth. The mother says that she senses his mother's teachings. This scene is important to all else because it says that so,much of what we do is a result of the things that we have been taught.

Next thought came as a result of the movie 17 Miracles. There is a comment made in the credits that tells that in the research of the stories the one of Sarah Frankes and George Padily(which is by far my favorite and I figured it was the most holywoodized). It says that theirs was one of the greatest love stories ever. James E. Faust, who was favored by me already, actually had the two sealed although they were never married. My father-in-law said such a thing was not allowed. But, I was not making it up. I pondered and at one point researched what of Sarah's children, with the man who she did marry. I remembered what Jesus said when he was asked a similar question about who would be together in a crazy circumstance, he just said that those who asked did not understand marraige.

As a member of a church with the full gospel in the latter days, I knew that there was so much that I did not understand yet, but it was available to be understood and this was such a morsel. It has always been a top concern of mine who my children would be "sealed" to, but through this movie, today I realized a new concept to share that even though we do understand many great and significant things pertaining to families, we do not openly knowand accept the eternal nature of our eternal situation of families. But, really how could we in our perceptions honestly percieve many things. This must I fully believe that the most important thing we need in this life is our choice of companion. We have solemn duties to our children but most important is to enable them the true happiness that can only be found through being sealed to a worthy eternal companion(equally yoked means we will have to compare and judge the worth although worth might be more potential).
