Feelings of the Temple

My friends and I went to do baptisms today at the Logan temple. It was wonderful! I want to make it a goal to go to the temple at least once a month, if not more! I love the temple, not only can we be sealed to our families for eternity, but we can help those who have passed on have the opportunity to accept the Gospel. It’s so beautiful! Neil L. Andersen said; “The way you feel in the temple is a pattern for how you want to feel in your life.” How do I feel in the temple? I feel calm, peaceful, confident, strengthened,empowered, comforted, thoughtful, loving, kind…the list goes on!
These are fruits of the Spirit, the good, gentle feelings we feel in the temple are of Him. Don’t we all want to have these feelings with us in our everyday lives? We strive to have His Spirit to be with us always, not only at the temple or at church, but always, wherever we are. I feel very blessed to be so near a temple that I can attend often. We really are blessed to have temples here on the Earth, the unity and love felt in the temple is amazing. Seeing everyone in white and just knowing that He loves each of us and our worth is great in His sight. When we go in the temple we put aside our worldly titles and positions and we are just who we are, sons and daughters of God, striving to build up His Kingdom. Waking up early on a rainy Saturday morning to go to the temple? Definitely worth every moment. #sharegoodness
