I’ve visited two temples during the last week. Each experience was rewarding and filled my heart with peace. I am grateful for the peace that comes from thoughtful worship in the temples of God. I am grateful for the knowledge that is made available there through instruction, symbols, and the revelations of the Holy Spirit. I am grateful for the promise of God’s plan for the immortality and eternal life of His children.
And you know what else?
I’m grateful that we’re all in this together. In the temple, it’s easy to feel unified with others in the journey toward becoming like Jesus Christ. It’s easy to love. It’s easy to care. It’s easy to be stripped of pride. It’s easy to feel close to God.
