45 Blessings/Week 3: Temples



Doesn't the song "I love to see the Temple" come to mind when you see this picture? This week I am thankful for temples. I got to go this morning to clean the Mount Timpanogos temple and what an experience that was. I'm so impressed with the organization of the church. Actually, I'm amazed by it to say the least. The temple is the cleanest place in this world. There was probably close to 60 people this morning who volunteered to come clean and I'm telling you, none of my rags hardly got dirty because the temple is already so clean. I asked the lady in charge if they clean like this every week and she said yes, plus, people also clean at night as well, always to make sure that the temple is perfectly clean. Wow! It was such a neat experience and one I'm sure I'll get to do again. However, the biggest reason why I'm so thankful for the temple this week is because it is my safe haven. I love the feeling I get when I walk in those doors, knowing that this is the house of God. Plus, it is here where I was sealed to Aaron almost 5 years ago and because of that, our children are sealed to us as well. What a blessing! I'm thankful to live close by so many temples. Yes indeed, "I love to see the Temple".
