Rewarded at end of a Temple Shift

When we stepped out from the temple tonight, we were blessed with a beautiful sunset across the Mississippi.

How can you express the tender feelings that come as you serve in the house of the Lord?  As we reflect on and feel the Love of our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, we want to become like them and live with them.  After serving the patrons that come to the House of the Lord, we feel gratitude for the blessings we receive.

We never get tired of seeing the Holy Temple.  It reminds us of the gift that we have been given, of the laws we have covenented to obey and the promised blessings that we look forward to in this life and the life to come.  We want to be with our family through eternity!

It was a little bit of a surprise but the temple staff scurried to get everything prepared and ready for the special event. When the temple sealer was talking to the woman, she said that her mother was very pleased. She also said that her mother had visited her and that this is what she wanted. What a tender feeling. It reminded me that in the ordinances of the gospel the power of godliness is manifested. I was grateful that Diane and I were in a position where we could be used to witness such a sacred event.

I have a conscience void of offense towards God and towards all men.”  The riders climbed the hill to the temple as the sun rose, casting golden light over the building’s unfinished walls. Joseph stopped his horse and looked out over the city. “This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens,” he said. “Little do they know the trials that await them.”   The Gale family huddled around the prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum.   Sadie and Sister Dickson examining the door where the musket ball came through and struck Hyrum in the head.  Another ball entered by the side of the door.   We are in front of the window that Joseph fell or jump...
