House of the Lord

Last night Matt and I had the opportunity to go to the temple. We haven't been in a while actually. After what happened with losing our son, Bradley, I have been prompted over and over again to attend the temple. Well, our temple had been closed, but i couldn't escape the nagging feeling that we needed to go. So we made the arrangements. When we got there, it was so beautiful. All the Flowers were blooming and the fountain out front was running. It was so peaceful. I knew immediately that this is where we needed to be. We went inside and saw that they needed couples to do Sealings. Matt and i haven't done a sealing since our own, so we decided it would be neat to try something new. I can't go into detail but we had such an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to be a proxy for some children. The Spirit hit me so strongly when the sealer was sealing these little girls to their parents. It is such an important ordinance. I could just picture these families in heaven rejoicing because they were finally together forever. I know the Lord's time table is different then ours, but i still wonder how long these people have to wait to have their work done. It blows my mind how much more there is still to do. Matt and I have made a goal to go to the Temple once a month so that one day we will meet all those that we have done work for. I love the temple, and i am so grateful that i can go. The Gospel is true, I know it. I know my sweet little angel is mine forever. I am thankful that i was able to feel the spirits of those little girls who are with their parents now. I am especially grateful that i could share this experience with Matt, he is such a good man. I love him so much. Thank you for reading, I hope this inspires everyone, who can, to go to the temple because it will bless your life.
