It's really amazing to me how many temporal things here mirror that which is spiritual. I like what you said about leaving our parents Jules and I have thought about that too. Our relationship with our children are so symbolic to spiritual things and our relationship with our heavenly parents. As a child you can't even imagine life without mom and dad helping and teaching and constantly being there to teach us and tell us what to do. Then as we start to get older we start to long for the opportunity to be on our own to learn and grow. We recognize growth cannot continue without leaving their home. At first it can be a little scary and we can be unsure of ourselves and who we really are without them. And all of the new found responsibilities and consequences can seem scary. We have to learn to judge for ourselves what is right and wrong and how to conduct ourselves. We learn through experience and through trial and error and eventually we come to a much clearer understanding of who we are and what is right and wrong. Only with our earthly parents we often discover that we must do the opposite of what they did. But with our heavenly parents we can always be sure that the way they do things is the correct way. The real challenge is getting to know them again and discovering for ourselves by choice and experience that we really want to be with them and do what they have done.
