Today was the Ogden Temple (Re) Dedication and it was wonderful! At the very end we all sang The Spirit of God which was sung at the Kirtland Temple Dedication and it was so powerful! The Spirit filled the Marriot Center.
A few things that Elder Holland spoke about really struck me. First of all he said that sometimes it's a good thing that the temple is closed because then you get to appreciate it more. Those of you who only get to go to the temple quarterly or not at all on your missions can probably appreciate that!
He then talked about how he wasn't able to be there when one of his sons got endowed. So at the time when it was happening in St. George, he calculated the time difference in England and sat and read his scriptures and he said that he had one of the greatest spiritual temple moments in his life and talked about all the things he learned.
He then said that unlike temples sometimes, our covenants and temple promises are never closed and should never be far away. They mean more outside the temple than they do inside as you live your life and keep working towards eternal life.
I am grateful for the temple and for the blessings that it brings not only to our lives, but to the lives of those we serve while we are there. I know the importance of always having a current temple recommend and I hope that we can always strive to do that throughout our lives.
Have a fabulous week!
