Looking Back and Looking ForwardElder Neil L Anderson, August 2009 New Era Thwarted again as my search turns up another talk that doesnt actually relate to my topic. It is getting down to the wire, but fortunately, Im mostly ready... Well see how I do at finishing. I liked the quote by President Hinkley about thinking about his lineage, and how Elder Anderson used it to demonstrate his point. I can see a tangential connection to my topic in ways, because it does help us at times to look back at the people who have shaped us, and to think about the legacy we want to leave to those who come after us. I am in a somewhat unique position there, in that I have a good chance of being able to see at least a whole extra generation beyond what most parents get to see. Frankly I find the idea very exciting. I look forward to being a great great Papa one day! But beyond the excitement of something so wonderful, I also need to think about the needs of the children that have become a part of my life. I need to think about how my actions now can help them, and how helping them will influence the next generation. I wont be around forever in this life, but I can realize that we have a hope of being together forever in the next, and strive to make that as possible as possible for as many of my posterity as I can. I cant think of too many more worthy goals.
