Finding Joy

Someone asked me why I try to find time each month to attend the temple.

Beyond the answer 'because it brings peace and tranquility to my busy life,' here is a short video found on youtube that sheds some light on the matter.

I love to see the temple.

I'm going there someday

to feel the holy spirit,

to listen and to pray.

For the temple is a house of God,

a place of love and beauty.

I'll prepare myself while I am young;

this is my sacred duty.

I love to see the temple.

I'll go inside someday.

I'll cov'nant with my Father;

I'll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place

Where we are sealed together.

As a child of God,

I've learned this truth:

A family is forever.

~I love to See the Temple
