“As we approach the sunset of our lives, the greatest legacy we can leave to our posterity is a life full of example that will stand as a beacon of goodness for generations to come.”
Elder Quentin L. Cook:
“In this life we laugh, we cry, we work, we play, we live, and then we die. Job asks the succinct question, “If a man die, shall he live again?” The answer is a resounding yes because of the atoning sacrifice of the Savior. Part of Job’s diverse preamble to the question is interesting: “Man that is born of a woman is of few days. … He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down. … There is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease … and bring forth boughs like a plant. . .Our Father’s plan is about families.” (Roots and Branches; By Elder Quentin L. Cook; Ensign April 2014; p.44)
Lynda Pendley Bennett - The Tapestry Called Family
“Every year in July, on Grandma Kurtz’s birthday, our family would gather to celebrate. These reunions gave each branch of the family a chance to pay homage to this aging matriarch of our clan as well as an opportunity to take notice of new family members gained through marriage or birth. It was a time to renew kinship, to keep track of each other’s lives. The ties of extended family ran deep, looping around grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Each belonged to a specific unit of parents and siblings, yet each also recognized a bond to the group as a whole. . .Year after year those gatherings took place, offering a sense of continuity to us all. . .I left home in my youth and did not return for many years. When I came back, it was to attend the reunion that marked my Grandma Kurtz’s one-hundredth birthday. . .For the first time I was able to see my cherished great-grandmother as a whole person rather than as an ancient curiosity. There she was, surrounded by five generations of friends and kin—evidence of a life fully lived.” (The Tapestry Called Family; By Lynda Pendley Bennett; June 1990)
