Last Sunday I had the opportunity to attend a mission farewell of my friend's little sister who will soon be departing to the Thailand Bangkok mission next week. At her farewell, a beautiful combination of "If You Could Hie to Kolob" and "Come Thou Fount" was sung in a special musical number. The words stood out specifically to me especially from "If You Could Hie to Kolob" as that song was sung at our good family friend's funeral last month. I began to ponder the lyrics found in the last verse.
"There is no end to glory;
There is no end to glory;
There is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above.
There is no end to glory;
There is no end to love;
There is no end to being;
There is no death above."

These lyrics touched me as I thought back to the great and divine Creator and the many blessings in our lives. Though it is so easy to get hung up on one thing that seems so big, it is better to see life through the eyes of our grand Creator. Life is just a small moment in the scheme of eternity.
I love how the lyrics in the song emphasize the fact that there really is no end. There is no end to glory, no end to being, and no death above. We all have the potential to return to live in our Heavenly Father's presence. We are all granted resurrection but we have to work a little harder for eternal life. With great opportunity comes great responsibility.
As we strive to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, we can grow and gain a better understanding of the plan that God has for each and every one of us. As I attend the temple each week, I am made more and more aware of how intricate and divine God's plan is and how it has been worked out from the very beginning. Heavenly Father created these wonderful blueprints for the creation. Christ performed the actual labor to make the Earth. We are the lucky ones that dwell on this beautiful planet and we have great responsibility to fulfill our purposes here and continue onward.
