Calgary Temple

Amidst the great flood destruction here in Calgary, Laura, Jeremy and I found a bounty of sunshine and great uplift as we visited the Calgary Temple, on Friday. We headed up there late in the afternoon, and as often seems to happen when you walk on Temple grounds....all was at peace, and so beautiful. This was my first visit to this Temple, and I'm at a loss of words to describe the beauty within this holy house. It certainly is decorated with the west in mind, spectacular murals, and a great closeness to nature with colors throughout. Everyone that we met greeted us with such a welcoming love. The whole time that we were  there all of our worldly cares left....such is the gift of Temple worship. We toured through other parts of the Temple, and it simply puts me in awe of what great beauty is there. After our time in the Temple we walked outside, and very quickly looked down through the city with a heavy heart for what many are going through. Many prayers were offered today, and the church has been busy offering aid where needed. How grateful I am that I was able to attend the Temple with Jeremy and Laura and that they as a couple chose to attend regularly, reminding them of their Temple covenants, and assisting the great work for the dead.
