"TAKE IT & RUN WITH IT"

 Today's lesson in Relief Society about Eternal Families really got me thinking. I was overwhelmed by how precious & sacred the ordinances we make in the Temple are & also how sad it is that I've been slacking BIG TIME on attending the Temple. As I sat in my seat & listened to a very spiritual lesson I realized that I've been neglecting to do my part as a Companion to my husband & Mother to my kids. Not the everyday responsibilities as Mommy & Wife, but helping the spiritual growth of my lil family. Blessings from attending the Temple are more important than any worldly obligation I have. Hearing different sisters share of how they wish to have a Priesthood holder in their home or to be sealed to families one day.. really hit me "I have that but I'm not taking advantage of it". Having the chance to be in the house of the Lord & do his work is where my husband & I need to be. Even w/ the everyday hassles of life we NEED to attend the Temple more often. NO EXCUSES!! My family means everything to me, I have to remember that my boys will only understand & learn more about the blessings of the Temple if Mommy & Daddy show them through example. We can't just teach them things about the Temple we have to DO what's needed to reflect that. As, one of the sisters said in class.."If you have the Priesthood in your home & are sealed to your families, "TAKE IT & RUN w/ IT". Those are the words that I'm going to try my best to live by. Tomorrow is a new day & a chance to be a better wife,mother,daughter,sister,friend.. Truly grateful for the Gospel in my life esp. for my Eternal Family! Here's to taking it & running w/ it! NO looking back:)

    I am right there with you. I was one of those that took a while to finally get married or as Luse would say "picky". Now that I FINALLY have that blessing I sit in an idle state, which is exactly where the adversary wants me. Within the temple walls is where we strengthen and fortify family bonds and relationships. I need to get myself in gear too or as the scriptures would put it "Awake, awake! Put on strength, O arm of the Lord" Let's put on our running shoes and RUN WITH IT! <3
