As I watched the sealing, I was reminded that all of God's greatest blessings are avaliable to each of us, regardless of whether we have gotten off of the path for a time.
I was so proud and excited for this former student, her husband, and small child. What a wonderful blessing for them to be sealed as an eternal family, and have all of the blessings and protections avaliable to them.
As I watched, I was reminded of Elder Jeffery R. Holland's talk from April 2012 General Conference where he said:
Whether you are not yet of our faith or were with us once and have not remained, there is nothing in either case that you have done that cannot be undone. There is no problem which you cannot overcome. There is no dream that in the unfolding of time and eternity cannot yet be realized. Even if you feel you are the lost and last laborer of the eleventh hour, the Lord of the vineyard still stands beckoning, "Come boldly [to] the throne of grace," and fall at the feet of the Holy One of Israel. Come and feast "without money and without price" at the table of the Lord.
- Elder Jeffery R. HollandI have such a testimony of the atoning power of the gospel, and the Lord's desire to give each of us all that He hath. Attending this sealing was a powerful reminder to use that power of repentance and rebirth in my own life.

I felt the same way when my sister got sealed to her little family. We can't judge too harshly when people make mistakes but just pray they will make the right decisions in the end. You are an awesome teacher to get invited to that!
How special that you were able to share in that with a student. Great post, and a great reminder.
So true. We had the wonderful opportunity to witness a family being sealed and it was an amazing experience. So glad you got to be there!!! Love your post!
