This week, our achievement day girls had an activity at the Temple. It was a beautiful day and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the Mount Timpanogas temple. For many years, I took for granted the temple that we have so close. I am ashamed to say that I didn't go as much as I should have. I now look back and wish I had been more faithful in going regularly and feel that I have missed out on so many blessings. There is a definite peace that comes to our lives when we attend regularly.
Boomer and the kids have been going every Friday since Shea was 18. That's 6 years. One day it hit me....."If the rest of my family can make the temple a priority, then why can't I". So in September of 2010, I decided it was about time that I became a regular. It has been an amazing ride and I feel such regret that I haven't made the temple a priority before now.
My parents have gone with me as well, and it has made our relationship so much stronger. I wouldn't trade this time with them for anything. I am grateful for their example, their support, and all that they do for me. Besides Boom and the kids, they are my biggest fans. We have had some amazing experiences and confirmations together as we have shared time in the temple.
I am truly grateful for the temple, for the covenants that I have made there. We are so blessed to have a temple just 5 minutes away and many others close as well. I am grateful for the protection that I feel we as a family has because of the time we spend in the temple.
Our temple is so beautiful and the grounds are so peaceful....we are so blessed.
Love this one of the Angel Moroni, especially with the deep blue sky in the background.
Families are Forever! Its gives me such comfort to know that even though we aren't perfect, we can keep trying to become better. We learn from our mistakes and move forward. Heavenly Father has blessed us with a way to get back to him and the temple can be a Liahona in our lives to guide us back to the Father.
