Chapter 5 cont. Of Love and Sacrifice
–
We all know that it is the powerful, unconditional love of a
parent that allows a mother and a father to sacrifice their life for their child.
But what is it inside one’s soul that could possibly make a parent sever
themselves from their children in a life or death situation, to maybe save the
lives of a friend?
What is it that allowed pioneer women to separate themselves
from their child’s frozen grave and continue on to Zion?
They had to have faith so deep that it was planted in the very
marrow of their bones. Nothing but this deep seated faith in God, the
Atonement, and in Eternal Families could tear a mother away from her child, or
allow parents like the ones in this story, to give their lives when it was
asked of them.
But,
these are my feelings. What are yours? . . .
