Temple Visit

I took last Friday off and we took the family up to the Draper Temple. The Church is putting on an open house for the next couple of months until the dedication at the end of March. It was good to take the boys through the temple, they have not been before and it raised a lot of questions for them. We talk about the temples and families are forever in Family Home evening and Church but actually being there made it sink in for Colbyn (12) and Alix (9). The younger boys just like the really cool hot tub (baptismal font), which was gorgeous.
While we were in there some people bore their testimonies on eternal families and the work that is done in the temples. How inspired I was and thankful that we live in a time of the fullness of the Gospel. How grateful I am to live in a place that has so many temples in just a couple minutes driving distance. COOL Stuff.
As my boys get bigger and I get older, the reality of how short life is sinks in. It seems like I was just turning 12 and playing soldier in my back yard. Now I am watching my boys turn the ages that I remember vividly. I am glad that I can be with my family forever. What peace it gives me know that if anything every happens that in the end we will all be together. Life is short but Life Eternal is forever.
Just a few thoughts in my words,
