Family history

I have been considering many things lately, and one thing has kept me awake in particular. I do not have pioneer ancestors like so many others, but I cannot stop thinking about how I share non LDS ancestry with so many pioneers it is insane.

My husband is one of those Decendants of pioneers, but I feel as much related because the same ancestry I have, if nature plays as big of role as nuture. The same blood lines responsible for creating the religious fervor and strength of the early church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints runs in my veins and I have not be culturally born into Mormonism as a way of life, to question and seek the truth is a key part of who I am and so when I was introduced to the church it made perfect sense, not because that is the way things were done, but because it seemed the way they ought to be done.

I used to lament the fact that my family was always in the exact locations at the right time for the restoration of the gospel and they even did form religions, or were very active in a given denomination, but none of my ancestors ever joined the church. This morning a quote was see and reflected upon "God has a way of making bad things good." Or some interpretation, that is the thought it generated. So, I wondered, if I recognise thatbas true, what supporting evidence do I have? Well, there it is. It seemed like a sad thing to not get to revel in pioneer day the same way others around me do, and that seems negative, but, I have something as significant to think about, by the gift of God, I know that I was formed out of the same sort of matter as formed all of the early prophets. This is a good thing. My situation did not change, but I am able to view it in a way that makes me happy. I think that is evidence of the truth I hoped was true.

Plus, it is as nobel to have heritage of significance in other religions, too. Because, we know that everyone is a child of God and they all need a way to draw near to him. In a class I learned that it doesn't matter as much how far along on a path you are,  but it does matter what direction you are headed. Most religions point people in the right direction.
