I love to see the Temple...

I love to see the temple, I went inside today. I felt the Holy Spirit. I'll listen and obey.

I'm grateful for temples. I'm grateful for the opportunity to go and do work for those that have not had that experience.

I especially like how I feel when I'm there and I am grateful to have a temple close by.

Robert L. Simpson said this about temples in the November 1980 Ensign: "There you will find peace; there you will come to know what security really is. There, in the house of the Lord, you can learn what you need to know to be truly free."

In the book, 'The Abundant Life', Hugh B. Brown said, "We build temples for the express purpose of having a holy place into which the worthy may go to perform ordinances calculated to bind together the living and the dead. Personally I should not like to contemplate the hereafter without my wife and my children, my parents and their parents, my brothers and sisters. I should not like to contemplate an existence, especially one that is going to continue forever, if I could not enjoy that existence with those whom I love. And so we build temples in the name of the Lord."

Lastly I'll share what Gordon B. Hinckley wrote in his book, 'Stand a Little Taller'. "Everything that occurs in the temple is uplifting and ennobling. It speaks of life here and life beyond the grave. It speaks of the importance of the individual as a child of God. It speaks of the importance of the family and the eternity of the marriage relationship."

Thanks!

I am so grateful to Heavenly Father, my family and friends for helping me to bear and get through my burdens.   "....and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they may be light; yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort,...."(Mosiah 18:8-9).

"The lessening of the load of another comes, in part, from our very expression of genuine concern transmitted to the burdened. Empathy expressed can do much to lift the heart of another. Objectively, in fact, the burden (the loss of health, a loved one) may remain, but the capacity to cope and to carry on is increased by our administering the adrenalin of affection." (Neal A. Maxwell, 'All These Things Shall Give Thee Experience')

I have felt that love, affection and support and know that I am not alone. I am grateful for the sacrifices and generous offerings of my sweet family and friends. I love and appreciate you all!
