As an ex-Mo living in a household with my TBM family, I try to avoid the hot topics of our different beliefs as much as I can. But when my mother first caught wind of all my blessings being "cancelled" due to my resignation, she was heartbroken. She kept asking, "Didn't I want to be with my family in the celestial kingdom?"
I looked her straight in the face and said, "Mom, do you really think God wouldn't let us be together? Do you really believe we won't see each other ever again after we die?"
She admitted no, nothing could keep our family apart. (We're very close.)
Did you really believe this idea? Did it break your heart to know that there would be some members of your family/friends who wouldn't be with you, or did you just figure it was their loss?
