This morning I was just sitting and doing homework and emailing, when I hit my favorites page I realized I had been to LDS.org quite a few times and that video was on the front page this morning. As I watched this video it reminded me of my own experience with a temple celebration. I thought about how lucky I am to have had a temple so close to me my whole life. How grateful I am that I was able to gain a testimony so early in my life of the great importance and worth of a temple. I have only ever lived five months of my life without a temple within driving distance. I want you all to know that I have a testimony of the temple. I know that as we go and partake of the ordinances within we are blessing the lives of others and receiving blessing ourselves. I know that without this building we could not be seal for time and all eternity to our families. How lucky we are in these latter-day to have been blessed with temples all over the world to continue the Lord's work and help carry on the kingdom and the everlasting blessings that he would freely give to us if we are worthy to enter. I know Heavenly Father lives and loves us. I know he sent his son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins. I know that it is through this atonement we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again. I know that Joseph Smith restored the gospel to this earth and that he translated the Book of Mormon , and that it is truly another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that we a prophet on earth today who is here to lead us back to God and help us along the way.
I hope today we can all remember why it is we are here and give a prayer of thanks to our Heavenly Father for the many blessing such as temples he gives us. I know I will:)
have a great day everyone!
