Very Special Valentine's Day


I don't know if many know this, but I just started volunteering at the Temple...
Today was my first time working at the Temple for a few hours with the children. I stay with the children until it's time for them to be sealed to their parents. Then I stay with them while their sealed and bring them back to the room. Today was so special and beautiful! The children were all girls ages 13, 10, 8, and 6. They were so polite and nice to each other. As I was watching them get sealed for time and ALL eternity as a family I thought about how glorious and wonderful Heavenly Father must have felt for them at that moment. The spirit was so strong in the room and I could feel Heavenly Father's love for each of his beloved children. It made my testimony of eternal families grow even stronger as I watched this cute family be sealed together in the Lord's house for eternity. To think now they are an eternal family is simply amazing and incredible. I'm so thankful for my eternal family who I will be with forever. I love this gospel so much! I'm grateful to know it's truthfulness and the happiness it brings to me daily. What a blessing it truly is to have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth today. I will always be indebted to my Savior for everything He has given me and I hope and pray that when I get to meet him He says "well done thou good and faithful servant."
