I have LOVED this video for as long as I remember. My father died when I was 6 or 7, and just recently my younger brother died at a very young age. I cry every time I see this video, and so much of what happens I can relate to my life. Thank you SO much for having it on your web site. I have been searching for this video for years!! - Anonymous

I used to listen to this song from a record player. It was one of my earliest memories of feeling the Spirit when I listened to something. Listening to it now takes me right back to those moments and the special feelings I felt then. Thank you for posting this clip. It was so uplifting to listen to it. - Anonymous

I am from Hawaii, and back in the 70's I recall the missionaries in our area showing my family and I the video. I absolutely loved it when I first viewed it, and still do now. I was a teenager back then, and not a member of the church, but this film, the music and especially the message always remained with me and I never forgot it. My husband and I joined the church in the 80's and worked our way to a temple marriage. This beautiful song was recorded by a non-member local Hawaiian singing group named Kapena. You would be very proud to hear their beautiful rendition of the song. ~Aloha - Anonymous

I know that this short slide show is a little on the corny side yet I first saw it on my mission, I was having a hard time the first 3 months of my misson yet this slide show helped me out so much and I did stay to finish my two years so the slide show dose help. - Anonymous

I love this video, but this is the first time I've seen it without the filmstrips "beeps" indicating that it's time to turn to the next image! - Anonymous

I was in high school when I heard this song. It is one of my favorites. My brother sung this song to me two days before he died. I still sing this song but now, I am singing it with tears falling down from my eyes... - Anonymous

To the man who said he recalls this video and it made him cry you're not alone. Also the movie is cheesy and wonderful!! - Ryan
How can call this great film/song cheesy? It's one of my favorite LDS songs. they don't play at all anymore. I can't find it on CD!! I want to put (the original version, not the crap version!) on my MP3 player. My seminary teacher said that he hadn't heard that song in 20 years.
I WANT TO HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME! (This song always makes me want to dance!)I want to hear this so many times that I get sick of it! - julie

Our home teachers brought this to our home on record. I love this song. Now that I'm a mom it has brought more meaning to me. I've been thinking about this song for years. - Anonymous

I remember this song and video. It is with mixed emotions I searched for it, I must say. I am close to my mum and this is the song that plays in my head when she has bad days with her health. She has emasemia and the machine that I know will help her a lot costs $15,000, which I can't afford since I am on welfare. - Steven

I love this song so much. I remember the first time I heard this, I just cried forever with my sisters, mom, and dad. I still cry till this day. What a powerful message. Thank You!!! - R.B.

I must be a glutton for punishment. My mom is in hospice in another state and doesn't have much time left, and she has yet to go to the temple which I have prayed for her for the last fifteen years she has been a member and then I watch this and not only am I going to lose her here but in the next world too.
Webmaster: I was very sorry to hear about your mother. While I'm sure this must be a very challenging time in your life, you need not let your concern that you're going to "lose [your mother] in the next world" trouble you. God is far more merciful that we mortals imagine. I encourage you to do your mother's temple work a year after her passing; let that temple service be part of your healing process. - Anonymous

I'm so bummed that this song and video is considered "cheesy"! When I taught Sunday school I would show it like twice a year. Along with Johnny Lingo! My poor kids! I'm cheesy!
Webmaster: Just for the record, I'm cheesy too! - Anonymous

We have a family of 4 sisters in my ward that sing this song so beautifully. They sang it for my little rainbow who died just recently. - Dave

This has made me cry for over the last 20 years. I must have shown this to hundreds of people in the mission field, and now whenever I hear the phrase "families are forever" this song and filmstip/video pop into my head and I start to cry, mostly because I know it to be true. My wife and I started our "forever" family over 20 yrs ago, now with 6 daughters (i'm waiting for son-in-laws) we are well on our way. Both of us are part a "forever family" thanks to our parents listening to the missionaries so many years ago and we thank God for thier willingness to listen and pray.
I was just looking up things for my primary class' "sharing time" when I came across this and boy did it bring back a flood of good memories. I hope more people come to the knowledge of "forever families". Now that my eyes are dry I will just say goodbye for now. - MamaRachel

Thanks so much for putting this up! I used to listen to my tape of this over and over when I was a little girl. Seeing it again made me cry all over again! (My tape has been lost over the years. ) I remember when this song came out, and I believe it was released in the early 80's rather than the 70's. (Just a side note...)
Thanks again!!! - Beng

Thank you for preserving this video! I've searched it for years, and so happy to find it. I've seen this video from the missionaries who taught us when I was still in gradeschool, and never forgot the song. I love the message of the video even more that I'm a mother now. It really makes me cry then and till now..... - Lorin
