Turn your heart to your fathers
Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming. -Doctrine and Covenants 2 (Moroni, quoting Malachi)

One of the most joyous opportunities we will have in the resurrection is to be reunited with our family members if we have been faithful. Just as God requires us to enter into vows with each other to begin and be part of a family in this life, God also requires us to covenant with Him and our families for eternity if we wish to be together forever.

What are the promises that God made to your fathers?
Have you read them in the Scriptures?
If you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can also request and read the Patriarchal blessings. Have these promises been planted in your heart?
Is there anything the Lord promised your ancestors that you could have a hand in fulfilling?
