Covenants Bring Peace

Friday June 15, 2012

This morning I had the opportunity to attend the temple with two of my dear friends. It was such a beautiful, peaceful experience. There was a young man who was going through for the first time as he prepares to serve an LDS mission soon. There was also a young woman who was going through for the first time as she prepares to be sealed to her sweetheart for time and all eternity. My heart smiled as I thought about one week from today when Andrea will go through the temple for the first time as she prepares to be sealed to Tyler the following day.

How grateful I am for temple covenants that bring us promise and hope in the eternities as we remain faithful and true to our Heavenly Father. I walked in to the Celestial Room and the sun was streaming through the cut glass windows flooding the room with a soft, warm light. I felt my Heavenly Father’s love wash over me and I was overwhelmed by His goodness and the blessings in my life. I know that I am a daughter of God and that he loves me and he is aware of my circumstance. I feel his love in my life and I know that I can hold my head up high with a smile and do hard things with his help. My testimony of my Heavenly Father and of his son Jesus Christ are the foundation of all that I hold dear. I am grateful for my life, for my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and for the gift of family.
