I remember my deep sense of gratitude that my sweetheart and I had been sealed eternally to each other and to our children, born and reared in the covenant. I realized that our marriage in the temple was my most important accomplishment. Honors bestowed upon me by men could not approach the inner peace provided by sealings performed in the house of the Lord. That harrowing experience consumed but a few minutes, yet my entire life flashed before my mind. His celestial realm has been compared with the glory of the sun.
Unfinished business is our worst business.
Perpetual procrastination must yield to perceptive preparation. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. We need not look upon death as an enemy. With full understanding and preparation, faith supplants fear. Hope displaces despair.
