Thank you to Sister Abbott for a wonderfully prepared lesson that was presented in Relief Society today. We spoke about the Temple, ways to prepare to attend the temple. I truly felt the spirit when everyone reverently listened to the lesson and participated with comments & testimonies. Sister Abbott also mentioned how several years ago she was challenged to write in the corner of her temple recommend how many times she planned to attend the temple that year. That is a fantastic challenge & I hope we all can attend the temple as often as we can. There is much work to do!
"Let us truly be a temple-attending and a temple-loving people. We should hasten to the temple as frequently, yet prudently, as our personal circumstances allow. We should go not only for our kindred but also for the personal blessing of temple worship, for the sanctity and safety that are within those hallowed and consecrated walls. As we attend the temple, we learn more richly and deeply the purpose of life and the significance of the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us make the temple, with temple worship and temple covenants and temple marriage, our ultimate earthly goal and the supreme mortal experience. As the prophets have said, the temple is a place of beauty; it is a place of revelation; it is a place of peace. It is the house of the Lord. It is holy unto the Lord. It must be holy and important to us." Howard W. Hunter, “A Temple-Motivated People,” Ensign, Feb 1995
