Ephiphanal Moment

In preparing to teach a lesson on counseling with the Lord to the Laurels on Sunday, I have re realized the importance of it along with its simplicity. I came across a quote in a talk by Elder Wirthlin that has struck me: Every person on the earth today lived at one time in heavenly realms. We walked with our Heavenly Father. We knew Him. We heard His voice. We loved Him. And although we were eager to enter mortality and continue our progression, we must have regretted the separation that would accompany it. We must have sorrowed that a veil would cover our eyes and the bright memories of our lives would be cloaked in the forgetfulness of mortality. How we must have yearned to stay close to our Father in Heaven. How me must have covenanted to ever reach after Him and commune with Him.
