The Power of Godliness is Manifested in the Temples of God

My thoughts on Elder Tenorio's talk "The Power of Godliness is Manifested in the Temples of God."

The power of the temple is magnificent.

In looking of my hard copy of this talk there isn’t much high lighting. I’m not sure why I didn’t highlight it, but I didn’t. I think what impressed me the most with the talk is the example of attending and the peace that comes through that desire and action.

As every mom goes through the stages of raising a family there are times when just driving by the temple (if local) is all she can do. I remember I would drive to the temple and just sit in the car as the children fought in the back. I received so much strength just from that act alone. Now that my youngest is 7, I don’t get much strength from that and it is required that I go in, but because of busy schedules I don’t attend as often as I would like. I would love to go once a week, but once a month is pushing it. Hubby and I only get two date nights a week and most of the time we don’t even get to leave the house until after the last session starts. I hope that during the spring and summer it will work better for our schedules.

This I do know, that when I go to the temple with a burning question, I get an answer and that answer isn’t easily forgotten, in fact I’m not sure I have ever forgotten an answer received while at the temple.

I also believe strongly that those that have a temple heart (desire and attend when you can) have this scripture ring true in their lives: “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers,”
