I wanted to complete some temple work and stayed for two sessions. Whether I am there on my regular day, substituting or a patron I see friends I have not seen for a while.
Today was like that. My former bishop, Joe Raynes, greeted me as I was going in to the ladies dressing room. He was so pleased to see me, and catch up on my family. He was so gracious and he asked about my children, and asked me how was Matt doing. I mentioned he was working for Microsoft and going to school working on his MBA. He was pleased to hear that.
I really felt at peace there in the temple as a patron. It had been several weeks since I did work for my family names. I also saw a couple from my old Cascade ward there as workers, the Furr's. It was a welcomed sight.
I went away thinking how wonderful it is to feel the Spirit there away from the cares of the world. It made me think about my children and I prayed for them to find time each month to attend and feel that same wonderful sweet welcomed feeling of being loved and feel the Savior's love for them, just like I do when I am there. It is indescribable.
The closest thing I can say about that feeling is pure love and peace and heavenly!
