I Love To See The Temple!

The temple is truly an amazing place! Daniel has been having a hard time lately because hes messed up twice in two different health care classes and did not get an A. The one class he got a B and the other he got a C. The last class where he got a C he was pretty upset because he had an A but turned in the wrong final and for zero points on it. The teacher told him he was sorry but the school policy is you cannot turn anything in after the class is over. At this point he was pretty upset and started thinking maybe he shouldn't be doing this in the first place. Of course I told him he was crazy but he just felt bad. Then he started thinking how am I going to go to real school (he will have to do this before pharmacy school and pharmacy school) work and spend time with my family. I told him we would be OK. He was still upset. He's dad gave him a blessing and told him he would be alright at this point I think he was feeling better but I felt like the temple would help. We planned to go the next day (which was yesterday). That day Daniel was a lot better because he talked to his academic counselor and she told him he would be fine he was an amazing student and everything would be OK. I don't know why he didn't listen to me when I told him! She also told him when he finishes with The University of Phoenix he should see about being an instructor, of course he loved that idea so its something he might do while he goes to pharmacy school. Even though he was feeling better we still went to the temple because we do not go enough. On the way I said maybe one day we can do sealing because we never have. But we decided we wanted to go to a session this time. When we got to the temple the front desk scanned our recommends and then stopped us. I thought oh man did I do something wrong! What happened? He asked us to go up and do sealing. I thought OK that was weird. I guess that's where we needed to be. I love being in the temple and I think it helped both of us. The only bad thing while doing sealing I started thinking I have lots of family members that have passed and they are not sealed together. I was told in my patriarchal blessing that my family is waiting for ME to do their work so I started feeling really guilty. I haven't done one thing for anyone! They are up there wait and wait and I'm just sitting around. I guess I better do it. Another thing I thought about after I helped a daughter be sealed to her parents. I will never get to do that. My parents were never married. I would love to be sealed to at least my mom but I do not think she will ever go to the temple. I mean I could wish because I want all my family to go there but I do not think it will happen. She's to stubborn. It made me feel like I was all alone. Daniel later reminded me I have him and Caitlynn and our future children. That did help me feel better. Anyways like I said the temple is an AMAZING place and I need to go there more often. Especially to help my family. I am so great for all the blessing I have and I am grateful for the Lord in my life. I would be lost with out him.

Atta girl. Jason and I have such a close relationship and there is still never a time that we feel more close than we are in the temple. It is the perfect refuge. Date nights that include a temple visit always seem to go even better than our 'dinner and movie' dates. :)
