The Joy of the Temple | Eternal Family
Recently a friend of mine had something happen in her family that she shared with us. It made me pause and think of how grateful I am of the promise of an Eternal family. I know that whatever happens here, we will meet again. Comforting words. I think that converting in a town with a temple and then again moving to a town with a temple has made me lazy. There, I said it, I am lazy about temple attendance. Ooooh, my big secret is out. Actually, feels a lot better than pretending I attend as often as I should. And if you want to judge me, meh' I don't care.
Darn it, I will come right out and say it -- I know I am to blame, but it is so easy to become lazy between Trevor's schedule and a wonderful bunch of in-laws who help me feel the Spirit in my home by just the occasional phone call. It is so easy to go home to Vernal once a year and get a good dose of a Spirit filled home for two weeks and then forget to carry that over into our every day life.
So, I leave you with a photo I stumbled across of V at the Oquirrh Mountain temple. He found delight in the temple grounds since he could not attend the sealing, and it is this photo that made me pause and think - gee - I can find the way the temple blessings fill my life in simple every day things... like my son - part of my eternal family. I also remember the Spirit that filled the sealing room that day, the words that were spoken and the beauty of my sister-in-law in her wedding dress and it makes me feel all gooey inside and want to run down the street right now. Yes, peoples, I live literally 5 minutes away - go ahead, call me a spoiled East Coast brat.
