The Spirit of Elijah

As I've read and pondered the wonderful posts here this Primary song came mind-

"The hearts of the children turn to their fathers.
Malachi prophesied the hearts shall turn.
Elijah fulfilled the prophecy.
And fam'lies can be sealed for eternity"
Words and music: Patricia Kelsey Graham copyright 1982

I am so grateful for the fulfillment prophecy from Malachi 4:5-6
  • Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The earth is being flooded with love in the hearts of the children for their fathers. That wonderful spirit of Elijah works on all who will feel it. And as Cindy says, "The veil is only as thick as we make it!"

What a glorious time to be living when all of the information is so easily accessed and even non-rearchers, such as myself, can do a simple search and uncover, for example, the Revolutionary War record of our 3rd great-grandfather William Caraway. (You can view these documents here).

I am so grateful to be part of this great work, in my own humble way.

This scripture has been going through my head for the past 3 days too. Over and over... turning the hearts of the children to the fathers... it really is an amazing miracle to watch this all unfold in our lifetimes, isn't it?
