Going To The Temple

When Melissa came home for Christmas, one of the things she really wanted to do was go to the temple. We decided that on December 23rd we would all go the temple and invite any other family members or friends to meet us there. I haven’t gone through a temple session with Melissa since my wedding almost 2 years ago. I loved being there with her and the rest of my family. Melissa and Chris were running late from running some errands around town and then Melissa and the changing room stall seemed to get into a disagreement and so she was running extra late. We decided that even though we were supposed to all meet for a certain session that if Melissa and Chris weren’t there yet that we would wait for them rather than going through. At the last possible moment Melissa came into the room and we were able to go through the session as a family. It was such a neat experience to remember that we are eternal families and that we are on this earth to learn how to live as eternal families. Each member of our families plays a special role and our lives wouldn’t be complete without each member. Just as it wouldn’t have been complete without Melissa there will us as well. I am so grateful that we took that opportunity to be there as a family and to gain that eternal perspective again. We will have to make this a family tradition every time Melissa comes to town!
