“I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples.”
—President Thomas S. Monson
I love this statement by President Monson. As I think about the temple
my thoughts drift to the amazing opportunity we have in our day to visit
and perform wonderful works of salvation; not only to ourselves, but
to those who have gone before us. The truly wonderful aspect to temple
service is that you can readily identify the blessings we receive as we
serve. Take President Monson's statement above, where else are you so
close to our Heavenly Father? Where else are you safe from the cares
and thoughts of the world? Where else do we receive so much light and
knowledge? We understand the truth behind where we came from, who we
are, what we are doing here and what we can become; we can learn and
understand God's plan for us. We are lucky to have so many temples
around us so that we can visit often and receive of these blessings.
