When I was a little girl, I always dreamed about getting married in this beautiful place, and when the time came, I was able to fulfill that dream. I loved being able to live in a place where such a building could exist, and the ability I had to walk to it's wonderous grounds, when ever my heart and soul needed to feel it's relaxing powers. I loved being able to go upstairs to the front windows of my parent's house, and looking out to see the top of the temple. How lucky I was to be so close.
I am so grateful for the blessings that come with the temple, and the ability it has to block out all of the worldly issues that you may be dealing with before you enter it's doors. It is a wonderful place to find yourself and to be close to our Savior, while still helping other that have gone from this earth.
A lot of these feelings are coming this week because of the great work that has been going on in my own family. Last year when my Grandma died, there were a lot of unanswered questions on what we should do next, concerning her temple work. Her biological family didn't want her temple work to be completed and she really never said yes or no to the question, so we didn't know what to do. But when we were saying our final goodbyes at the cemetary, my Grandpa said that when the times comes, that her temple work will be done.
Tomorrow my Grandma will have her temple work completed. How proud I am of my Grandpa, for the prompting he felt a year ago about her temple work, and little did he know that it was also a prompting to get his life in order so he can progress. I am so proud of him for working towards his own recommend to allow him to attend temple and help complete her temple work himself. It has been many many years since he attended and Friday he will complete his and my Grandma's work. They will be sealed for time and all eternity and we all will be a forever family. I even know my Grandma Marie who is on the other side of the veil, is waiting anxiously for Grandma Verna to join our forever family. And that the two of them will rejoice together when it is completed.....
I am so grateful to my cousin Stacey, for the work she has put forth in order to get my her temple work finished. I am so grateful to my Savior for giving us the keys on this earth, to accomplish this beautiful work. I have a very strong testimony of the great importance temple work is and strongly encourage all that can, to go. It will bless those on the other side, but it will bless and benefit you the most.....
