i made a promise just a few months after we moved into our new house, that i would make it to the temple once in each calendar month... and i have managed it. so far, so good. i love that i am able to serve and be in the lords house and make time for the temple.
"There exists a righteous unity between the temple and the home. Understanding the eternal nature of the temple will draw you to your family; understanding the eternal nature of the family will draw you to the temple." —Gary E. Stevenson
i know that by making time for the temple, i am being the example that my children need. by seeing their parents attend the temple, they will want to make the gospel of the highest priority in their own lives and to make it a goal to attend themselves one day.
"Prepare now for the temple, the mountain of the Lord. Never allow the goal of the temple to be out of your sight. Walk into His presence in purity and virtue, and receive His blessings—even 'all that he hath.'" —Elaine S. Dalton
make the temple a priority in your own home, for as long as we can see the temple, we will never be lost. ♥
