Day #4. I LOVE Temples!
I thought this would be an appropriate post for today; since we visited the Draper Temple Open House this morning as a family. What a beautiful temple! Not only was I impressed with how magnificent the temple was decorated; but the entire process of viewing the temple right now is something else! So many wonderful people are there to show you where to park, say 'hello', and just point you in the right direction....each one of them is there simply because they want to. I LOVE people who are selfless with their time--(they make me feel guilty) and they make me want to be better!
(I asked Carsen his favorite part about the temple and he said, "The bus ride!" He was so excited that we got to ride on a bus. I had been told to possibly by-pass the bus part; but Carsen would hear nothing of it!)
How lucky I am to live so close to so many beautiful temples. I don't take advantage of this (like I should). This post is not to tell you how perfect (or imperfectly) I am about attending the temple...It is more to express my LOVE for temples and the work which takes place within the sacred walls.
I LOVE temples for my family; I LOVE temples as a retreat from the 'world' and to be reminded of what is truly is important; I LOVE temples for their beauty. I LOVE temples in that no matter where you go in the world you can always count on consistency and peace.

Glad you had good trip. That is funny that Carsen like the bus most of all! ha ha
Me, too! I mean, I love them, too!
Nice post - it was uplifting and beautifully written. I'm glad you had a great experience. Aleah also said that her favorite part was "riding on the school bus." If only school buses were really that nice.
Oh my goodness, that temple is gorgeous. You really are surrounded by temples aren't you? I'm excited for tomorrow night- frank and I have a temple date.
Great post! I loved the Draper temple, I loved the beauty of it and I too loved all the selfless people there working. I am glad you had a great experience and thanks for the reminder on how important they are and how much I NEED to go!
I love the temple too!! Wasn't it the neatest thing to be in the Celestial room with your family? I was sad Lauren wasn't there (my mom had her) but I kept thinking, "How cool is this?!" to be there with the boys. We should start a temple night babysitting rotation...there are enough of us who need and want to go and a huge shortage of sitters around here!
Good post. I teach a lesson on Sunday about the sealing power so this has been on my mind a lot as well. Thanks for the testimony!!
That temple is so beautiful. Trav went with us to see it, i think it kinda surprised him by how beautiful it is.
