"And that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy."
Doctrine and Covenants 130:2
This is a cool verse, and helps us know that at least some things will be similar "there." (By "there" I am assuming the verse means something like heaven/millenium/afterlife (somewhere in there), but there actually isn't any context at the beginning of the chapter to be certain.) I'm not exactly sure what parts of "sociality" will be the same, but I'm guessing that we'll still have friends and the ability to spend time with each other. Maybe there won't be the same activities to share, but whatever there is there will likely be better... I mean, "eternal glory" definitely sounds like a positive thing. :)
Along with a few other things that we know we can take with us after this--family relationships, knowledge, and personal experience (we get to still be the better people we became here), the whole sociality thing seems pretty awesome. With knowledge and friends, maybe there will still be witty banter. :)
Today, let's look forward to the future of the eternal things that we can build on now, and maybe start cultivating and prioritizing some eternal things where we can over the things that are not going to last.
