Last Saturday, my Relief Society walked to the Houston Texas LDS Temple.
(Relief Society is a society for women in the LDS church.

For nearly two hours, we walked together along wooded paths, holding devotionals and participating in activities. We helped and encouraged
each other along the way.
It was a truly inspiring and spiritual experience. The main theme
was that we need to stay on the path of righteous and endure to the end
in order to reach that eternal destination.
"Let the Lord be your light.
Let Him prepare the way before you to your promised land...
Trust Him. Keep your eyes riveted on your goal across the field and walk
in the straight and narrow path of the Son- the Son of God."
-Sharon Larsen
Walking along...
"Our covenants will strengthen us to resist temptation.
Keeping our covenants will steady us on the path of virtue.
As we keep the covenants we make at baptism,
we will remain in the center of the path."
-Elaine S. Dalton
We made it!!
"Be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the
blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours."
-Doctrine & Covenants 78:18
In front of the beautiful Spring flowers on the temple grounds.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
-Proverbs 3:3-6
And the beautiful temple with its beautiful reflection...
The temple is a place of learning, worship, and peace. Reverence and holiness is found there. Whenever I go to the temple, I rest in its stillness.
And it is so beautiful.
The world can't hurt me there. The rush, the evil, the hurt, the worry.
So reminiscent of the hymn: Peace,peace, be still.
The Spirit fills me and makes me feel whole.
There are 136 temples scattered around the world.
And there is one an hour from my apartment. I am so grateful for this blessing.
Isn't it beautiful?
