Gratitude for the Temple

Post By Matt:
How extremely grateful our little family is for the temple.  So many wonderful blessings have come our way since our little family has been sealed in the temple.  Sometimes however, we find ourselves in a whirlwind being tossed to and fro from the treacherous winds of life.  Life comes at you fast and furious sometimes.  Sometimes the storms of life get so bad, we lose track of where we are.  However, we have a Father in Heaven who loves each of us so much, he can't help but reach out his hand and help pull us out of the storm.  Much was the case for our little family.  Life was busy and stressful and we began to lose sight of the important things in life. Just when you think life can't get any more difficult and you are to your breaking point, Heavenly Father lets you struggle for just a minute, and then he reaches out his hand to let you know he is there orchestrating everything.    Just as things started to get rough and the storm clouds produced much rain, Heavenly Father reached out his hand to our little family and pulled us in out of the storm.  As he helped pull us in from the storm and into a safe shelter, we found our little family in the safest shelter out there,  THE TEMPLE!  The Temple has worked so many mighty miracles for our family.  Matt has tried his best to go on a weekly basis, and my how it has blessed our little family.  The miracles have been non-stop!  We have been blessed with a wonderful job and career path, and are looking at FINALLY getting into a nice home.  What a blessing that will be.  It brings new meaning to making your home like a temple.  We will cherish our new home, hopefully as much as we cherish the temple.  Despite what everyone says about Disneyland being the greatest place on earth, we all know that the greatest place on earth is the temple.  Each time you come out of the temple you come out a better wife, husband, father, mother, child, ect.  Oh how very grateful we are for the temple!
