I found this quote from Pres. Boyd K. Packer, referenced in a multitude of talks, and couldn't help but wonder what that meant. "Of whom we will that you be one".. So, duh, I googled it!
Nobody could give me a straight answer. Something about latin bodies of organization, referenced in the LDS church to relate to the Priesthood. So I googled "quorum," and found that it meant the members of an assembly. "Nos" - I knew that meant "us," or "we," in Spanish at least. "Unum" surely had something to do with unity. And with my Spanish background I considered that "esse volumus" would mean, "that volume," or "that people."
I got chills. When I broke it apart, it suddenly dawned on me what it meant - that we work together as a team. That we be one. And I couldn't get over it. As a family, as a team, as a community, as a company.. If we don't act in unity, we can't ever succeed.
When we do act in unity, we can do so much good. We just have to cling to each other.
Yet again, I have no idea where this picture's from, but I give the credit to wherever it's due. I am so grateful for this idea. This image of her clinging to him, and his lips pressed against her forehead. They seem to be in a circle of promise, of "I will be here for you." And I love that.
As a family, as a country, as a world, if we would just be unified... If we could all be one... We could do all things.
But I guess I'll start with family (:
