Such a beautiful story and article. It gave me great hope and strength as I am going through some great physical health challenges just now. But I know the Saviour loves me and this is all for a purpose . Thank you for this beautiful uplifting writing. I love and loved all of Larry Barkdalls articles and read them always.

A tremendous article indeed. It is so interesting to miss the important message until a quiet moment comes along and we are able to be approached in a teaching moment by the Holy Ghost, who, in this case, sent a powerful message from our Savior and Heavenly Father. As I got to the end of the article, I started to cry as I remembered my own special anchor that the Savior has given me. I have dreamed since I was a little boy of being wrapped in the actual arms of my Savior's love when this life is over. I was promised by my grandpa Brady just before he died that when I finally leave this life and get to go home, he will be there to greet me. It will be a greeting with a great big hug because he was known for his hugs. I have told many a person that I want that hug and that a hug from the Savior has to be just that much better and I do not want to do anything that will compromise the opportunity for those two hugs. Although I am not perfect, I live for that day! Thank you for republishing this article.
