All:
The word that describes the amount of love they have for eachother and everyone of us.
All of it.
Because:
Because to them it never feels right to have a family event without all who can make it, and that's because they see the eternities, learning we need each other to make it there.
Two:
They didn't just have nine kids but always had open arms to any number.
Like the way they've never just been two together, but three with the companionship of God. Which they try earnestly to strengthen.
People:
They've never asked for praise because they knew they were just people. People living, giving, and following the commandments. Yet they always knew they were children. Children of a God. A Heavenly Father who praised them, seeing from above the people they were saving by being the living, giving, and commandment following people they've been.
Fell:
Falling has always been short, with them getting right to their knees knowing Christ fell for them.
Which made standing in his ways their forever choice.
In:
Inside their hearts and inside their minds fills the spirit.
Love:
The word that makes all the hard easier. The word that took Christ to the cross, and grandpa the veil.
The word that makes all the hard worth it just like they new having nine kids wouldn't be easy, but that they'd create generations.
Generations of faith to make the hard things easier.
Easier for eachother, the future, the needy, the poor, the faithful, the struggling, the all.
And it's all because two people fell in love.
In love with the the plan of happiness, their testimonies, Heavenly Father, The Savior, and eachother.
"All because two people fell in love. I loved him from the first time I saw him, and I never dreamed he would be mine"
"Because I know you grandpa jay I want to know the savior"
"I'm a believer because you are a believer"
"I'll miss you. I'll always remember you"
"You made me and my kids feel so special"
"I can't wait to be reunited with you again"
"You were he first to talk with me and make me feel apart of the family"
"Thank you for helping make me the man I am today"
"I hope I can be more like you everyday"
"You've touched everyone of our lives in a special way"
"The legacy that he left us is one that's hard to follow"
"The plan of salvation is the plan of happiness for all of us. And daddy wants that for all of us"
"Daddy will have fun with Jesus"
"Because of grandpa we believe in angels. We believe in miracles"
"I don't know if I'll ever be able to go to school again because he loved learning so much"
"I loved him from the first time I saw him, and I never dreamed he would be mine"
"Momma and daddy taught us how to love"
"This is not how all grandparents are. You are very blessed."
"We know he's watching and crying too."
"He was a champion of light. A desire for truth. To battle against unrighteousness"
"It's one thing to say, and it's another to say and do. Which is what he did."
"We can look around and see that God lives. And that the gospel is true. He's another testament of that."
"He's made believers out of all of us."
"They could of gone and traveled and saved money, but they chose to save and be with their kids."
"He knew what was really important. It was not the money."
"I know I'm not closed minded because he taught us to believe in anything that's good."
"With grandpa passing I've realized that I do have a lot to grieve and be angry about, but because of this gospel and grandpa's teachings I don't have to. I can come to understand that this is the plan of happiness. That everything I go through is to benefit me by coming closer to the Savior."
Take my hand and take it to salvation. To love another person is to see the face of God.
