I can’t possibly possibly imagine how much more of the spirit of God Emma’s idea of the best blessing that she wanted than any other prayer/ blessing that I’ve heard! I need to say this in my prayers! You might get offended by this but you are not supposed to get offended with words. I don’t know about you but my classmates in school would use the most extreme efforts in trying to offend, mock and reject everyone past points of making others suicidal ESPECIALLY if one thought huge pop culture wickedness was bad and or it didn’t look like you were going to make a bunch of cash as an adult. That is just barely scratching the surface and I don’t doubt that’s what has been happening to people since I graduated. I guess everyone wants to pretend kids are “slackers” still. I know English cannot possibly describe what I did in school but it was way more than at least MY body was ever designed to be able to do and I have suffered beyond imagination after because of it and I was a “slacker”. I don’t know why people aren’t surprised the birth rate is as high as it is. Did God say to Eve be a help meet for Adam ONLY if he proves he has made a name for himself or proves he has a lot of vain things? Did Emma say to Joseph if I’m going to even going to act like you’re alive, you better prove that you have made a name for yourself or have fancy vain stuff digging up that silver? Then why has that been the only way females are expected to be the last X decades inside and outside the church? “You don’t look as righteous as what my idea of Joseph Smith is and he made a name for himself, you are just a nobody.” Nancy Towle would be so proud, “You who are no more than any ignorant plowboy of our land!” Do you think all men who are married have wives that generally have their best interest in heart? Do you think no woman blames their husband way more than they should? Probably only you found a “mote” in Adam’s eye when he said my transgression and not putting blaming on Eve. Eve says our transgression which is 100% good and true. So the husband, to not be selfish, is always to put blame on him And his wife. Ok. I really don’t think Joseph Smith wants millions and millions of men and women to “surround (Emma), we ought to encloak her with as much grace and mercy and forgiveness as she deserves.” That would be too close and personal for any husband. What has Emma done to millions upon millions of men and women for us to think there’s any reason at all that we have an option to forgive or not to forgive? That’s not even applicable. I really hope people read this
