I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE!!!

Our family planned a trip to the new temple at Daybreak---who can spell the name of it? It was a cloudy rainy day but we didn't let the weather stop us. We have so few days and nights that we are all together especially with James' work schedule, my meetings, Michael's meetings, and other church activities that we decided that this was the day to go. What a beautiful temple it is. We felt such a beautiful and peaceful spirit once we entered the doors. I was surprised at how small it seemed once we were inside, all the endowment rooms were quite small but very beautiful. Then we entered the Celestial Room and wow----you can just feel the spirit so strong. Brynna was crying and felt such a peaceful feeling in there. We went into a Sealing Room where a sweet couple explained what took place in this beautiful room. I couldn't help but feel so thankful that we are sealed together as a family. Everyone left the room but we stood together as a family and looked at the huge mirrors placed there to see how your family just goes on and on--a Celestial moment for us---what a great blessing the Temple is to us. I love my family and I am forever grateful that I have the Gospel in my life. I couldn't bear the thoughts of eternity without them. Heaven to me is having no empty chairs.
