A Sweet Experience

Last week our family had a special experience, and we were all able to attend the Open House of the new Draper, Utah temple. All four kids, Clint and myself got to experience the beautiful temple up close and walk through each of the magnificent rooms. I really think the kids felt the special spirit there and loved the opportunity to be able to go inside the temple.

When we got to the Celestial Room we all sat down on a couch together and marveled at the beauty in that room. Hanging from the ceiling was the biggest and most beautiful chandelier I have ever seen. I looked over at Macy sitting next to me and noticed tears in her eyes. I asked her what she was feeling inside and she said she felt the most incredible feeling that she couldn't explain. Her words brought tears to my eyes and I just think of how all six of us sitting there on the couch together is just a foreshadowing of how we will be a family together forever for the eternities.

That made me tear up too! I can only imagine what a beautiful scene it must have been to see your family sitting together in such a special place!
