In 1992 I wanted to have my Grandparents sealed together. It was before you could do family search on an easy chair with your phone. I went to a Family History Center and had someone help me with the nessassary arrangements. This woman told me to ponder and I would be drawn to those who needed work done.
I will admitt that i had no hope of finding anyone because my family history is very well done. My feeling was to look into this grandmother of mine, who died when my dad was 8 and he didn't have any memories of her.
Over the years I have gotten to know her. I looked for any pictures I could find of her, I had her sealed to my grandpa. A couple of years ago a 'Baby boy' came up on Family Search. I had him sealed to his parents. I knew my dad needed to be sealed to his parents. My dad had very little gospel knowledge. He grew up without any gospel knowledge but was baptized at the age of eight. As the years went by, I did talk to him about it and he did want to be sealed to his parents. (When I had his parents sealed together he was not interested in it.) His proximity to a temple and his declining health made this plan impossible to complete.
I completed this plan yesterday. It has taken 31 years for me to make this family together forever, but it is finally put together.
People want to believe that they can be together forever without the sealing ordinance, but the truth is, there is power in this Priesthood ordinance and it must be preformed for God's children to be together forever. It is His desire for all to come to the House of the Lord and feel His love and find eternal happiness.
