In Sickness and Health

[SerinkNight]

Jesus and God do not turn their backs on the sick and afflicted and neither should we. Even if they can't remember us, we should remember, love and take care of them.

[n2motherhood]

The mind is so vast, what we know what we don't know about it's workings; but even greater is what our spirit can obtain despite physical illness. My husband lost access to memories over a yr ago and life is different now for both of us. We have been married 35 years and he cannot pull the memory of our beginnings. However from time to time, for some bizarre purpose, he gets access to memories even though they are short lived. Life is a challenge some days, but the gospel gets us through!

This generation of elderly really is the greatest generation. Living the last part of their life the way they always have...with dignity.

Who they are/were has really defined a lot of the best parts of who we are now.

Thank you Grandpa and Grandma!!

The timing of this video is perfect. I had to put my sister in a care center recently, and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I have noticed a difference between the patients who have faith and and those who  do not. Faith gives us strength in these times even as the care giver.

fabulous

[lakejeffery62]

We are ment learn on earth is a selfless love one for another. Any one can love when health are good. The true self love rises to the top like cream to care for those who cant care for themselves.

Mosiah 2: 17

17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

Matthew 25:40 Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me

[mcholly08]

We all become old but love can never change..

[FaN1960ChAmP]

I went to a branch like this every Sunday, when I was a missionary.... great times..

President Lewis!

[jlaruep]

This makes me miss my wonderful father and mother in law. Thank you for this wonderful video. I love the videos the church produce, they always touch my heart.

[jjfoxymama]

Very touching! It made my cry. Very surprised to see my grandmother and uncles on this video! No acting here just straight truth from the heart! The internet is amazing!

[retiretoheber]

In sickness and health As a young couple we wed Our love was our wealth And with joy we looked ahead... Now in our aged years There's no tears or regret For love conquers fears Though it's me... she forgets What is left of her is as a child Not yet with ability to think Sweet, innocent, and mild Yet... still able to spiritually drink

As a nurse's assistant I've found joy for many years in helping and serving the elderly, specifically those afflicted with Alzheimer's Disease. I'm currently helping to take care of my elderly grandmother and have been thinking more about the days when I will be very aged and what it will be like. I'm grateful for the experience I have gained and am gaining now in learning more and feeling more deeply the things that the elderly experience. It will prepare me well for a long, healthy life.

[tylermatthewmarz]

"As long as I can feel the spirit in my heart I am at home", Such truth!

[trgrant]

Thanks for this. It has changed my attitude about my getting older. I have always said that I would grow old gracefully, but I understand now more what that means.  I am not expressing this very well, but understand that I was inspired by this message.

And on another note, it reminded me of my father and mother during her last few years on this earth.

[lucasud]

I loved this video, so moving! It reminded me of my grandma.

[barraganen]

this video touched my heart so deeply, i love loving!!

[dancinXthruXtheXrain]

this is a very very very nice video. thank you :D

[Jhernandezlds]

THaT's my Mission president!! AAM represent!

[gradgurl2007]

Wonderful. Just what I needed to hear.

[philip0424]

WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!!

[jonmahoney04]

I work at a senior home now so this video really applies to my life. It's important to remember that when people are afflicted with conditions like this they used to be full of youth and they gave so much to us and younger generations.

Thanks! ♥

[mormonsoprano]

Beautifully done. I am so happy to see this message. The Orchard Cove care center is located in my home neighborhood of Bountiful, Utah. My family and I have volunteered there for several years, and we sing on many occasions. The residents always respond to the music, and sing along. Even though their minds are not cooperating, their spirits are fully functional, and I always go away feeling I have received much more than I gave. That spirit of love & peace is captured in your video. Thankyou

[jedbrinton]

Wow - I hope that someday I will be reminiscing on decades of marriage with a woman I love. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the thing that has kept my parents' marriage together for over 30 years, and I believe that when I am married someday, it will help me and my wife as well.

[marisa0813743]

Wonderful video. Thank you so much.

[QueenQuill]

What a beautiful and inspirational message! It's so full of HOPE for people that suffer from Alzheimer's and other age-related illness! Thank you so much for sharing! Also, President Lewis did and amazing job at narrating this piece! I love him and his family so much! -Ashley M. Bountiful, UT

[DefendingMormonism]

Excellent, as always!

[lelizzylu]

this is soooo sweet and cute!

[vasniltere]

I wish that these videos had more views...

[BrandAlH]

Beautiful message with subtle, beautiful music.

[junkchic]

Wow. This one really caught me off guard. Thinking I would not 'connect' with it (given it is about a disease I know nothing about) and yet I felt so drawn into for so many reasons. The 'actors' were obviously not professionals but they did such a great job conveying their feelings.

I was also struck with how 'top notch' the film was. The Photography and music were stand outs for me.

I just cannot believe we see such high quality short films on this site - one right after another.

[CodyMafatu]

@junkchic I believe they were real people and not actors, very beautiful however.

[junkchic]

Wow - makes this even better for me. Really a wonderful video!!!

[jjfoxymama]

Those "actors" were my uncles and my grandmother (the lady saying the prayer holding the microphone)! They are not acting ..they are speaking from the heart!

[Goldmilkmarketing]

These videos are absolutely inspiring! I've used almost every single one in both missionary efforts and teaching efforts. Thank you to whoever makes these! Please keep them coming!!!

[robertallenelliott]

Another beautiful film with such tenderness. These 'messages' are always so well done and make any tough day better having watched them - puts so much of life in proper perspective.

[gwenmangelson]

my mom has alzheimers and this is a very special video, my mom also remembers music . Thank you for sharing this!

[DJHEROKIDS]

The people in this video are afflicted with Alzheimers, which will affect 1 in 8 people by age 65. I hope and pray that the research can continue on this disease and others to help, but in the meantime there is dignity in living with faith in those final chapters of life.

[mormonensindchristen]

It breaks my heart everytime i see this, my grandma had parkinsons i know the sufferings and the sorrows. Plaques are the cause for most of our societal diseases. These plaques come from animal fats and Dairy products. We should avoid these. So many lost years of healthy living.

It's a devastating desease.

[terminatorgir]

that was nice, makes getting old not look so bad

[Trojanbabe88]

sweet...

[omiolo]

We serve others and in turn we serve our God.

[krystalcandi]

that was a nice video. i love these

[kyu619]

i would rate this 10 stars. 5 isn't enough.

<3 this video!

[papadonto8]

At 48 I suffer from Parkinsons. I hope and pray that when my time is done here on earth that I will be remembered for my Faith and my Hope. My Father has given me a challenge. It's very hard and very difficult sometimes. I get angry, but then I think of that wonderful day when I will awaken and be resurrected and all this will be gone. The tunes will give you the hope because they are those we grew up with and remember most. Love, Faith, Hope and Charity.

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Love transcends all.

[folms110]

Love it.

joy in the journey - amen
