"Good families are not made in the absence of adversity but rather through the handling of it. Before now, we didn't know what kind of family we were. Now we get to find out. "
Mr. Incredible and I recently went to the temple and it was like manna to my soul. It was such a beautiful day and our hearts were softened and our minds were burdened.
Each temple has its own blessings. I like to read the dedication prayer for the temple I am entering. I thought that the Columbia temple had a particular blessing about being burdened and its patrons would leave feeling uplifted etc, but it must have been another temple because I could not find it written. But, we did leave with an overwhelming feeling of peace and a serenity that can not be described.
WE had a goal that we would attend the temple once a month. This was when Warrior was 12 and he could babysit. Then as we attained that goal we thought maybe twice a month would be good. Let's just say we are back to the once a month goal. ::sigh::
Working for the airlines has specific perks that I have decided to take advantage of. It helps that our children are older but more importantly they are mature. I would like to attend 12 different temples a year, more if we could make it happen. It would be easier if we lived in Utah. But, I think this will be fun and a great way to accomplish a goal and do the work.
We took pictures on self mode. I looked a bit ridiculous running back and forth. I have since made a note to bring a tripod, so we could have better pics!
Attending the temple puts everything in such clear perspective. Heavenly Father continues to answer so many of our prayers. He answers them immediately, He has not left us alone! Almost daily we have a testament of how he has answered a plea. Although, our biggest prayer has not been answered yet, I know He will. We are answering the prayers to others. There are certain things that we would have never done had we not been in this situation at this particular time where we are blessing other people.
This is my last public post. We have grown quite accostomed to our show names and I will continue using them. I bid thee farewell. I'm going to try a new pair of panties on. Who knows, going private may give me a wedgie but sometimes I like that feeling. LOL ~peace out~
