Thy Will

I went down to see Layne this morning. He was watching a General Conference talk from April 2015. It was the one by Elder Jorge F. Zeballos of the Seventy, entitled 'If You Will Be Responsible'. I came just in time to hear the fourth point he makes...Willingly Accepting the Father’s Will. The story he uses to illustrate his point is about a young boy whose family has waited to have join their family, goes unconscious, and dies at the age of three. The father of the boy has an attitude of 'thy will be done' as events unfold for their family. I thought of our family and Layne's journey. I find myself in a similar position to the parents in the story - a dearly loved family member, a Heavenly Father that is calling his son home, a choice to make, a commitment to keep...willingly submitting to His plan regardless of our original plan as a couple. It's all about keeping the faith.
