Temple Open House

Several weeks ago, we took our children to a Temple Open House.
Michael and I loved showing them the beauty of the temple.
And telling them what a special and sacred place it is.
We told Kathryn many times what a wonderful opportunity it was to go inside the temple.
When we reached the sealing room, we told her that we were married in a sealing room just like that one.  And then, Michael lifted her up, so she could see her reflection in the mirror.
Which symbolizes eternal marriage.  And eternity.
 Yesterday, I watched the dedication of that same temple.
The spirit was strong, and I was reminded of the great blessings that come from attending the temple.
These were some of my favorite messages from that beautiful meeting:

-Remember the covenants we've made and the blessings that are awaiting us.
-Attend the temple more frequently and find answers to questions regarding families
-Focus on the temple and we can weather any storm
-Never be too busy to be the Lord's servant
-Stand in holy places in order to withstand the trials of these latter-days
-We have been given much, therefore much is required of us
-Is the fire of the covenants we've made burning within us?
-Love, patience, tenderness, and spiritually are found in the temple      
-Make room for Christ and time for the Savior of the world
