“This is the plan of salvation unto all” (Moses 6:62).

Once while I was visiting a class of young women, the teacher asked the class to write their top-10 goals in life. Then she asked them to share what they had written. Abby, who had recently turned 12, was sitting next to me. This was Abby’s list:

1. Go to college.

2. Become an interior designer.

3. Go on a mission to India.

4. Get married in the temple to a returned missionary.

5. Have five kids and a home.

6. Send my kids on missions and to college.

7. Become a “cookie-giving” grandma.

8. Spoil the grandchildren.

9. Learn more about the gospel and enjoy life.

10. Return to live with Heavenly Father.

Abby had a vision of the plan Heavenly Father has for all of us. When your path is focused on that most important goal of returning to Heavenly Father, you will get there!
