So, make sure you don’t give up!

However, you will not “lose your salvation” unless you FORCEFULLY yank free from God’s loving grip of a loving Father:

You are safe in God’s hand — and in JESUS’ hand:

JOHN 10:28-29, Holy Bible, KJV:

28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

Be blessed in Jesus.!

LAKELAND (between Tampa & Orlando), Fla.

In the months before she died both I and my wife had intimations that her time was short. We both got really worried that after she died she’d be scared and lonely. It really bothered me and I prayed a lot about it.

One night I had a dream. I saw her coming into heaven with a whole crowd of people waiting for her. In my dream they were her ancestors and relatives, who loved her, and were waiting to welcome her to heaven. But in my dream, each one of them looked exactly like Christ. The knowledge was communicated to my mind that this was a symbol of the great and pure love that each one of them had for her.

The night after she died, my wife and my mother-in-law both dreamed that they saw her playing in a meadow of daisies with the pioneer children who had also died young.

Not one of these little ones is ever lost.

The key is the LDS belief that, almost without exception, children raised in the Millennium will embrace Christ and his gospel.

By the way, Jesus Himself visited me to share a few Bible verses I forgot in my original publishing — see my updated research paper:

NOTE: Jesus only visited me twice in my life in this manner — once in the above, and once to show me the girl for me in re marriage.

Be blessed in Jesus, my friend.

I just looked at the time-stamp, of my last post, and it was in the wee morning hours of 3-23-2011, but as of late that afternoon, I had updated my page –and it looks like you saw the most current ‘update’ of my page, where I relate a personal visit from Jesus, Himself, suggesting last-minute modifications and tweaks to my page.

THAT doesn’t happen so often -a visit from the Big Boss, Himself!! –but I mentioned this in case you either logged onto my page right before I updated it -or in case you (or others) missed it on first pass.

Yes, I admit that I am glad to have a stamp of approval for my research, but making up somethinmg like this is not in my nature –besides, it is so wild, I almost could not have even imnagined it -even WERE I to be incined to lie about it: Indeed, truth *is* stranger than fiction.

Thx again, Joanna — I hope to check out your links real quick.

As LDS people we believe our children born and adopted to us are “sealed” to us by the ordinances of the Temple. This sealing means the relationship between husband and wife, parents and children are eternal. For example, my late husband Mike and I were sealed/married as a young couple in the SLC Temple. This ordinance gives us the promise, if we live worthily, we and all our children, born and adopted, will “belong to each other” in the next life.

The status of miscarried and stillborn babies are a bit more ambiguous. When I was a teen in the 1970′s, there was a popular LDS play called “Saturday’s Warrior”. It tells the story of a family both in the preexistence, earthly life and afterlife. One of the characters, Baby Emily is a miscarried baby, and later “resurrected” as a live birth at the end of the play. I do not think this is so. I believe the unborn remain our children in the next life. They belong to us just as our other live children do. Whether I raise my unborn son or not in the MIllennium is not a personal worry for me, I wanted the assurance ( l believe I have that witness) Baby Jake is my child and “belongs” to me as well.

SO I definitely feel that deceased children, both live births and stillborn/miscarriage, do not go to hell, but to Paradise/afterlife before Judgement, until the Millennium where G-d will sort it all out; whether I raise him or not, is not a concern of mine personally, only that he is my sealed child.
