Yesterday, this beautiful Temple was dedicated. I am so grateful to have taken the youth the open house and then be able to see the dedication with my family. I LOVED the talk the Temple President, Preston Checketts gave, was my favorite part. He talked about how habits are the bodies way of making thing easier, one less thing a body has to think about. He then talked to the youth about setting good habits, so when you are forced to make a hard decision your answer is there. Then he told the youth that having a Temple recommend and attending the Temple is a habit we must all establish. And to the adults that this too must be our habit. Then he gave this thought, say tomorrow our Stake Presidents and Bishops announced that the Lord was in the Temple and that he was visiting with the people, do you have your recommend? because, guess what he said, those Bishop and Stake Presidents won't be sitting at their offices signing recommends, they will be headed to the Temple themselves to be in the presence of the Lord. It was so good! I love that everything wasn't actually perfect, there was humor too, our church is not made of perfect people, just people trying their best.
