Last Tuesday, we had the special opportunity to go to the Payson Temple Open House. We have been so excited for our temple to be finished. The kids have been especially excited to go inside of it. We had a lovely evening together walking through the beautiful temple. The girls loved all the sparkly lights and Adam loved the Celestial Room. We got to take a minute in the Celestial Room, and I looked over at Adam and saw that he had tears rolling down his cheeks. I asked him if he was ok and he said that he felt really happy because he could feel the Holy Ghost so strongly.
Eric and I have been talking lately about what things in our life our truly important. It is easy for us to get frustrated that we don't have a lot of money. By the worlds standards, we live a very meager lifestyle. We don't own anything, we don't travel or buy anything expensive...when we buy anything at all. But, on the flip side, the things we value the most don't cost money. We have a beautiful, healthy family, our kids are receiving an amazing education and most of all, we have the gospel and our testimonies. We wouldn't trade any of those things for money or fancy things. It can be easy to lose this perspective, but as we walked though the temple with our children, I was filled with such gratitude for our Savior and the gospel. Knowing that my family can be together forever is the greatest gift I have been given.
