My heart is full. What an incredible blessing it was to be able to participate in the Oquirrh Mt. Temple dedication, along with thousands of other saints across Utah, today. That same spirit that I felt when I was 8-9 years old in the re-dedication of the Manti Temple was present there today, and I know even more today than I knew then that the temple is a house of God, and that the work that goes on in those temples is the work of the Lord. I know I often take for granted the blessing of having so many temples so close. I often take for granted the blessings that the gospel has to offer. I take for granted the Atonement that is so central in all of our lives. The blessings of the Atonement, coupled with the saving ordinances we find in the temple are so important, and I am going to renew my efforts to participate in those blessings more in my life. I am grateful for a Savior who died for us. I am grateful for His plan of Happiness. I know He knows who I am and that He loves me and has a plan for me. I am grateful for the restoration of the gospel and the knowledge I have that we can be together as families forever. The blessings of the temple make that possible to us - to all of God's children. What an awesome feeling, isn't it!
