Joseph
Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in
death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and, pointing to
the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: "You will have
the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after
its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit."
There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the
resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volumes of happiness,
of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these
principles to us.
