MY TALK IN CHURCH

My dear brother's and sisters, I need to start my talk by saying how my Heavenly Father was very mindful of my adversity. As I look upon my youth and all the way to adulthood in my safety, my spirituality, my prayers, my family and now my disease. I have listened to the comforter when life was hard. When I think back I remembered a time when I was 34. I was sitting in the temple quietly waiting and pondering when a voice whispered in my head you're going to die first ". Now being 34 I was very surprised and scared, but it sure got me thinking about the future. The next week when I was at work we were introduced to a 401K plan, and I didn't hesitate to sign up. Scrolling up to 3 years later, my husband Brian and I were just getting home from work and we had a visitor. It was a lady from Myers Mortuary selling funeral insurance. Brian and I didn't put out much resistance, if anything we were extremely curious. She sold us both a policy and left a whole bunch of paper work for a will. We looked at it and shying away from it we filed it somewhere unfinished.
My next experience was seeing my mother taking care of my dad when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease. The examples and patience she showed the family were Christ like. It was a long but loving 10 years. When my dad passed away in 2001, Brian was asked to remodel my mother's kitchen. When he was finished mom asked about paying for all the labor. I spoke up and said we wanted burial plots by my father and my mom said that's a good idea. So now you know family planning for the future is so important. And you know that our parents gave us great examples in caring during adversity.
In doctrine and covenants section 121 it tells us that Joseph Smith's suffering is not as Job's. That his friends and family rally around him. I testify dear brother's and sisters that this has happened to me by your love and kind service not to mention words of support. The prayers on my behalf are felt so strongly. The love and support from family members is very humbling. I will close now by saying I know the church is true in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
