so today was dianella stake conference
and i went... and sat... and listened... and actually enjoyed it...
and got a lot out of it
but the one thing i really thought about?
we have the temple right next door
and do i really go as much as i could?
nope
so i am going to try to do better...
it makes me think... that 29 years ago my parents saved and saved and saved and saved to be able to go and be sealed together for time and all eternity in the hamilton, new zealand temple
with two little boys
my brother and his wife 14 years ago saved and flew to sydney to be married in the temple
whereas i got out of bed and drove the whole half hour to the temple to be married and sealed and everything all in one day, without having to save - or for that matter - even wait
cause there's one right here!!
do i really appreciate it as much as they did??
without all the waiting and the saving and the travelling?
don't get me wrong - i wouldn't have had it any other way - and if needs be i would have saved and saved and waited -
but i didn't have to...
cause there's one right here!!
a stone's throw away
and they'll be seeing more of me :)
