Temple Day

Yesterday's work in the temple reinforced something that I have observed before - time in the temple can have a great softening effect on me.  The temple provides a holy atmosphere, where I feel closer to the presence of God.  The ordinances emphasize the role of the Savior in our salvation, and bind us to him through holy covenants.  And the people in the temple, both workers and patrons, are among the best that you can hope to meet anywhere.  So I came home last night with a great feeling of peace and joy, and that has persisted this morning.  I am grateful for the temple, and for being able to work and attend there.
