Today after my two chiropractor appointments, I had my mom hurry home so that I could save my energy and strength to go to the temple with my youngest daughter Shaniah. I was so looking forward to going. It has been a while since I have felt good enough to go.
Shaniah asked me to do baptisms with her. As we sat in the temple we felt the spirit so strong. It was so peaceful and rejuvenating. I sat and pondered on the beauty of the special promises we make to our Heavenly Father in the temple.
As I sat next to my 16 years old daughter, my mind went back to when I went through the temple with my oldest daughter. I felt such an overwhelming feeling to share that experience with my younger daughter. She told me that she couldn't wait until the day she could get married in the temple and how she wanted to be sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. I was excited to hear how she wanted to get married in the Salt Lake Temple because this is where my mom and dad were married as well as my hubby and I.
As we basked in the warmth of the spirt inside the temple I realized just how much I need to have this feeling weekly. I made an inner commitment to try and make it to the temple weekly. I knew that I needed to find a day each week and use all my physical energy and strength to get to the temple and exchange it for an increased spiritual strength. Shaniah also made a commitment to come more often and bring her dates there as well.
Although not many words were exchanged in the temple today, there were a great deal of teaching and learning going on for both of us! I am so grateful we have temples so close to our home and the blessings they are in our lives.
