Temples

I'm going to the Temple today!
I love going to the Temple and I try to go each week. I am in a new stage of life (empty nester, most days) and have been blessed to stay at home since I began having children almost 28 years ago (on the 1st of October it will be 28 years ago officially!! Darn kids I wish they would just stop getting older). One year when things were really hard for me and I didn't know how I would make it through, I set a goal to attend the Temple every week. I knew if I did the Lord would bless me and you know what He did and He is. I don't really know how to explain it but I feel a greater peace and and I have greater faith than ever before. My eyes have been opened to new understanding at times. I still have hard things to deal with and have things happen to break my heart but, He helps me deal with them and will help me overcome them. My son asked me recently about the Temple and what goes on there and today I found this little video I want to share here in my blog.

Thanks for sharing that. I hadn't seen that one before - only pieces. What a great goal to be able to go to the temple every week. I agree with you. When I go, I do feel an extra measure of the spirit and additional help and insight. I hope you had a good day filled with peace.

I love attending the Lord's University (the temple, NOT BYU) too. I find not only learning, but great peace and hope. Thank you for sharing your testimony. It stengthened me today and reminded me all will be okay.
