After being closed for several weeks because of the holidays, the temple reopened this week. On Thursday mornings I volunteer with my mission in the temple to help make the temple a reverent place where people there can worship. We assist people through a ceremony that outlines for them God's plan for our happiness and the means by which we can return to him. Today we were able to do that again, and I loved it so much that we're probably visiting again tomorrow morning.
With the Christmas season well over now, it's wonderful to have the temple as a reminder of Christ to keep the Christmas spirit going. I really do feel close to God in His temple. I wonder, if it feels that good to visit the temple after it was closed for several weeks, it must be so much more of a difference between a world where there was no temple to our God after the temple in Jerusalem and now when God has enabled His people to build a temple again.
