TEMPLES

I went to the temple early Friday morning. It was a magnifecent experience to me. The early morning hours are truly inspirational. The world is still and quiet and sleepy which allowed me a moment of peace where sweet thoughts and inspiration could come into my mind without distractions. I loved walking inside while it was dark out, participating in the Lord's holy work while there, and walking out feeling so light and happy into the bright morning sun shining across the wheat fields. It was awe inspiring and faith envoking.

I have a renewed testimony of the temple and the work that goes on inside. I feel that renewal each time I attend. I am so grateful for sealing powers that connect me and my family for eternity. I am so thankful for blessings bestowed upon me for doing Heavenly Father's work. I am so thankful for the closeness to Him that you feel when you are inside and for the sweet whisperings of the Spirit in answer to deep prayer while there. I know that the ordinances that are done and the covenants made in the temple are true and complete and perfect. I am so grateful to be a member of His true church and to be worthy to enter into His house and partake in this sacred work. I know the church is true. I know Heavenly Father lives and that He loves me enough to speak to me in small and simple ways. I know the work that goes on in the temple is eternal. I am so grateful that the Lord has blessed me, my family, and my community with a temple so close.
