Just some thoughts

I was going through my family history today after church. It's amazing to me how much has been done on my mom's side and how much has NOT been done on my dad's side. I love reading and hearing about their lives. Family history has always been an interest of mine and very recently our church has put a huge emphases on getting as much work done as we can and encouraging those around us to do the same. While going through names and searching, I decided to come back to my own family....then I saw Kynzie's name. I clicked on her profile and started reading the stats...then I read the date that she was blessed. My heart sank a little thinking about that day...her blessing day. Everything about that day was so simple, yet so filled with the spirit. Skyler remembers her looking up while he was giving the blessing and she was just so calm...as if she was just soaking in everything....like the day she was born. Just soaking everything in. No crying, just eyes wide open...soaking everything in. She was always like that. But the date of her blessing was what stuck out to me the most this time. She was blessed only 3 days before she passed. Just 3 days! We usually had waited to get our kids blessed till 3 months or so but with her, Skyler and I had such a strong feeling to do it much sooner. And with the way things were falling into place, heaven definitely had a huge hand in making sure that it happened. Thinking back to the day of her passing...Skyler and I both knew that her time was done on this earth. The signs, the sweet yet simpleness of her baby blessing, the feelings...everything played out the way that it was suppose to and there is no denying that fact.

While we were talking about family history, we talked about work that is done on the other side of the veil. It doesn't stop here. Infact this is only a small part of what work needs to be done. I might believe that Kynzie is our guardian angel...and maybe she is. Those hearts I see don't lie. But I also strongly feel like she plays a part in this work that needs to be done from the other side. Having this feeling makes me doing my part in family history while I'm here on this earth that much more rewarding.
