I Love to See the Temple

The temple is an important part of our life. Before we were blessed with Ava we tried to go to the Sacramento Temple once a week. It was a place of great peace and comfort to us during a difficult time. We found our days and weeks were easier to handle after being strengthened from a visit to the temple.

Now that we have our beautiful baby girl it is more of a challenge to go to the temple regularly. Rich has been able to go a few times, but I haven't been since the day after Ava was born in Utah. That changed this week when my good friend and her kids offered to watch Ava. I decided it was time for me to get back to the temple, so I went and I'm glad I did. It was so wonderful and uplifting. I felt happy and renewed and it was exactly what I needed. I now hope to go more regularly and I'm grateful for the invitation of my friends to watch Ava for me.

I sing "I Love to See the Temple" quite regularly to Ezra. He always smiles while I am singing it. When we put him in his crib at night, He will smile while I sing him that song, even if he was throwing a huge fit! Isn't it nice to live in the same town as a temple!
