Temple

We took a trip to the nearest temple and had a great family visit. The temple has become such an important part of our family. For those who would like to learn about our temples you can go here, which will let you find every temple that has been built and learn more about why we build temples.

The temple has been important to me throughout my life.  It has been a beacon of peace and perspective.  I have taken the example of my Grandparents and parents that we can draw closer to Christ and our Father in Heaven  when we enter the house of the Lord.  When I finally reached the age I could go to the temple I did so eagerly.  I know that as I continue to go to the temple it will help me keep Christ at the center of my life, and the life of my family.  I want my children to learn where they can go to draw closer to heaven, and that is in the House of the Lord.

During our last visit, our goal was to take pictures of our children so that they can have their very own picture of them at the temple.  These are the pictures we were able to take, and we have already hung them on their walls.  I loved hear and seeing their excitement that they wanted these pictures on their wall.  I know that having these pictures up will add more to the Spirit in our home.

I love to see the temple,

I'm going there some day,

To feel the Holy Spirit,

To listen and to pray.

For the temple is a house of God,

A place of love and beauty.

I'll prepare myself while I am young;

this is my sacred duty.

 

I love to see the temple,

I'll go inside someday.

I'll covenant with my Father;

I'll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place

where we are sealed together.

As a child of God, I've learned this truth:

A family is forever.

 

 

Every time our family sees the temple we like to sing this song.  I do love to see the temple, and I love what the temple stands for.
