Holy Temples, Sacred Covenants

My thoughts on Sister Allred's talk Holy Temples, Sacred Covenants

As I read this talk I was filled with joy that we have always had a temple near by. When I was little, the Salt Lake Temple was only 12-14 hours away and my parents tried to get there once a year. Then in 1980 the Seattle Temple was built and dedicated. My parents tried to attend more often. Ten years later I moved here with my sweet husband and tried very hard to attend but having babies and raising a young family made it hit and miss for me--miss more times than hit.

Now that I'm in the throes of raising teens it has been even harder to make it to the temple. But I need the blessings of attending. I hate going by myself but my husband is so busy. I really need to make an effort this month to get there. Maybe I just need to sit down with the calendar and put it on and --wait for it--not let anything knock it off.
