House of the Lord

This first week back to work has been pretty awesome, partly because we got to attend the temple this weekend. The last time we did a session, we were in the Salt Lake Temple which was a beautiful experience. It's amazing to think that in todays world structures are built with the help of machines, tractors and forklifts.. yet this beautiful Temple was built before any of that machinery came into existence. After walking the temple grounds I would have to say this temple is one of my favourites.

Yesterday Tuks and I were able to attend a moring session in the Hamilton New Zealand temple. It is something I have grown to love and I now look forward to our monthy visits. Following our session, my family  (and my extended family) gathered to support our cousin Lane and her husband Josh as they were sealed to their baby daughter for time and all eternity.

How fortunate we are for temple blessings! As I watched my cousin kneel at the altar, I was reminded of our own sealing two years ago. I couldn't help reflecting upon my love for my husband and all he stands for in my life. I am greatful, every day, that I had enough sense to marry this loyal and loving man. And I am even more greatful that I get to keep him for eternity!

On Saturday we will be privileged to enter the temple again to witness the sealing of our friends Ben and Tracy to their sweet daughter Aley. I am looking forward to celebrating with them but also being able to be in the temple again. At the end of a busy week nothing brings the same amount of peace as entering the House of the Lord.
