Now That's Awesome, Humbling, and Brings Tears to my Eyes

I mentioned in my last post that we have donated 4 caskets, all to boys. We do this to help families out during the most sad moments of a parents life. We just want people to know that others care and that they are not alone. It is very easy at that moment to feel as if you are the only one in the whole world who has ever suffered that kind of pain. We want to give others hope. Hope that one day it won't hurt so bad and that there is a way to keeping putting one foot in front of the other, especially when you feel you can't possibly take one more step.

I have mentioned before that I don't know how I even made it alive through that week preparing for my daughters funeral. That week was such a blur to me in so many ways. Looking back I know that I was carried. My loving Heavenly Father literally held me through the whole process and sent me many earth angels to lift me and my family up during that moment. I know it to be true, we are not left alone even during our hardest times. I literally could feel heaven in my home. It was there all around me, but at the same time my pain and sorrow is what I would imagine H#*! to be. It was an interesting feeling to know what both feel like.

I know that so many people were touched when hearing of Kamber's accident. It seemed to work like a missionary tool. So many were taught through her funeral of the gospel. Many testimonies were strengthened and for others it pricked their minds of what the "Mormons" are all about. I think the biggest lesson was of families and that there is life after death. I am eternally grateful for my knowledge of eternal families and knowing as hard as it is right now to be without Kamber that I will be with her again, never to be parted.

Now on to the title of my post. Yesterday in Relief Society our lesson was on Post Mortal Spirit World, in other words where we go after we die. We talked about all the wonderful things that go on in the spirit world while we wait for judgment day. We also spoke about how those who have passed on before love and care for us. They want us to do well and be happy. They also continue to teach the gospel there and that they can work hand in hand with us here. Needless to say that lesson brought me to tears and filled my heart with love and a remembrance of some of the neat experiences I have had since the death of my dad and Kamber. These are experiences that I hold so dear to my heart and they are sacred to me. Later last night we received an email from a dear friend of ours that we have worked with to donate two of the four caskets. Her name is Gina Johnson founder of "Sharing Down Syndrome." She is the definition of Christ like Charity, someone I aspire to be like. She is the absolute most kind person I have ever met. Anyways...she emailed us last night to let us know that the last family we donated a casket to went to their home and had the first missionary lessons. She wanted to let us know that Kamber is continuing to touch the hearts of others and that the gospel is being felt through her and the non-profit we started in Kamber's memory. She feels that Ethan and I play a part in that to, which I give all the credit to our Kamber, Gina, and of course Christ. To be honest, when we started Kamber's Kaskets I didn't even think of it having that kind of effect. I am grateful that it has sparked someones interest in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know Families are forever, death is not the end.

Love to all and more posts to come, please continue to check to find out about the news this weekend.:)
