Field trip to the Ogden Temple

 Nothing much better than being at the Temple with all your kiddies.

Had to take pictures with all of them.

So grateful we are an eternal family.

Get to be with these darlings forever!

Life is good.

After our 8 am Temple Tour.

we went to breakfast and then the kids had a plan...

details next post!

Catching Up

Saturday, I was up early and the boys were sleeping soundly.

I headed for an early Temple Session.

I love getting there in the dark.

It was a peaceful morning.

I got home the boys were still in bed.

Monday,  Mike had a birthday!

Katie found this fabulous Memory Game.

It is pics of the kids when they were little!

The boys went skiing.

They tried Snow Basin and loved it.

Can't have a birthday without Wafer Cake

 

 We had to chat with Katie and Jeremy.

They don't like to miss a thing.

Had an infusion this week.

A day for napping and reading, I caught up on the last Massie Dobbs Book.

This went better, my blood pressure did not drop so much.

I was able to leave on time.

Sunday Thoughts....

John A. Widstoe quoted by Elder David B. Haight in November 1990 Ensign:

“I believe that the busy person on the farm, in the shop, in the office, or in the household, who has his worries and troubles, can solve his problems better and more quickly in the house of the Lord than anywhere else. If he will do the temple work for himself and for his dead… a blessing will come to him, for at the most unexpected moments, in or out of the temple will come to him, as a revelation, the solution of the problems that vex his life. That is the gift that comes to those who enter the temple properly.”

Experience of Michael Wilcox:

He and his family had just moved to a new city.

His children were young teenagers and he knew that critical years were ahead of them.
“I went to the temple to ponder and seek guidance regarding my children. I told the Lord I was willing to offer Him any sacrifice if He would protect my children from Satan’s power and bless them with His spirit. An answer was given with the required sacrifice. I thought the Lord would demand some great thing for the blessing I was asking, but the spirit simply whispered: “Be in this House FREQUENTLY, CONSTANTLY, CONSISTENTLY, and the promised protection you seek, that this House has the power to bestow, will be extended to those you love.”

For that blessing alone I will be in the temple as often as I can.”

“…we will be a better people, we will be better fathers and husbands, we will be better wives and mothers. I make you a promise that if you will go to the house of the Lord, you will be blessed, life will be better for you.”

-President Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign July 1997
