It was such an amazing experience to go inside a House of the Lord and witness the physical beauty of the temple and feel the spirit of peace and happiness that the temple brings us. My favorite room to walk into was the sealing room, where as members of the Church we can be sealed together as families for eternity. I felt such an overwhelming spirit of peace. I am so grateful that we have temples (all over the world!) so that we can come closer to our Heavenly Father and be together as families for time and all eternity!
It was a neat experience to go to the open house because the Brigham City Temple will be dedicated next Sunday (Sept. 23rd)! I get to watch a broadcast of the dedication. SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!
Also, one super cute story that just made my day...
We went to Maddox, a super popular and fun steakhouse, after the temple. When I was in the bathroom, I heard a little girl singing the primary song, "I Love to See the Temple". It was sooo cute!! She didn't have the tune or the words quite down yet, but you could tell that she was so excited she had gone to the temple. This is one of my favorite primary songs as well because it has such a sweet message:
I love to see the temple.
I’m going there someday
To feel the Holy Spirit,
To listen and to pray.
For the temple is a house of God,
A place of love and beauty.
I’ll prepare myself while I am young;
This is my sacred duty.
I love to see the temple.
I’ll go inside someday.
I’ll cov’nant with my Father;
I’ll promise to obey.
For the temple is a holy place
Where we are sealed together.
As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth:
A fam’ly is forever.
I am so grateful for my family and that we will be together forever!!!
The temple is truly such a special and sacred place!!
