The temple

We went to the Draper temple open house yesterday. What a beautiful experience. After walking through the temple and seeing the beauty and feeling the Spirit, we were led to a sealing room where a couple talked about the blessings of forever families. The kids got to look in the mirrors and see eternity. I know they felt the Spirit there. Before we were shuttled to the temple, we met in a church where we watched a short video about the Draper temple. On the video, Elder Holland spoke just for a minute, but what he said really touched me. He said that he could not think about Heaven without his wife and family. It would not be Heaven without them. Then he said that some may call it wishful thinking, but he knows that there is something eternal in the words, "neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord" (1Cor. 11:11). It was very tender and beautiful. I, too, believe that without my family, Heaven would not be Heaven.Speaking of Heaven, Christian loves to take pictures of the sunset. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Quotation of the day: "A happy family is but an earlier heaven."
