I have a new-found understanding of Heavenly Father's love for His children now that I am a mother. I can't imagine not doing everything possible to give my daughter the best life I can. I get frustrated with people who insist that this life on this corrupt planet is the only shot we have to do the right things to return to our Heavenly Father and live with Him in his Kingdom. I believe that Heavenly Father is a great and loving Father who will offer His children every opportunity to return to Him, even if that means after we leave this world. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we believe that after we leave this world (die) we will go to a Spirit World where we will either be teachers or learners. Those who figured things out in this world and followed the commandments of Heavenly Father will go on to teach those who either didn't have the opportunity or didn't figure things out before they died. Coming from a Catholic background I imagine the Spirit World to be much like Purgatory, a place of waiting, repenting and learning before we are worthy to enter Heaven. Then, our spirits will be reunited with our (perfected) bodies and we will be judged and placed in degrees of Heaven depending on our faith and works.
