"We once knew well our Elder Brother and our Father in Heaven.
We rejoiced at the prospects of earth life that could make it possible for us to have a fulness of joy.
We could hardly wait to demonstrate to our Heavenly Father and our brother, the Lord,
how much we loved them and
how we would be obedient to them in spite of the earthly opposition of the evil one.
Now we are here. Our memories are veiled.
We are showing God and ourselves what we can do.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father and how familiar His Face is to us. "
("Jesus Christ-Gifts and Expectations," Christmas Devotional, Salt Lake City, Utah,
7 December 1986.) Ezra Taft Benson
