I attended a wedding at the Oquirrh Mountain temple yesterday. I was a bit afraid of my (emotional) reaction and warned my friend ahead of time that it might just be a little too soon for me to attend a sealing. Her sweet advice was to just do whatever I needed to. Well, I needed to be there-- for her, for her daughter, and for me. Yes, it was Lauren's wedding and yes, it was Sharon's day to be mother of the bride, but I felt like I was the one who was especially blessed.
Blessed because I was reminded by the sealer of two very important pieces of advice--"Follow the Brethren" and "Return to the temple often." Blessed because I was reminded of the wonderful Plan our Father has for us. Blessed because I felt the love of my friends surround me. Blessed because I, like Lauren, was sealed to my husband for time and all eternity.

I'll bet that was an emotional experience for you, A. But you are a shining example of a testimony getting you through a tragedy. You are sealed to a wonderful man, and he probably right there with you. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear it went well as I know you were worried. I'm glad it had a comforting, peaceful effect. I love the temple for that. Love you!
ReplyDeleteThis practically brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your testimony! And I'm glad that Aubrey's mission president was so thoughtful and that Aubrey's doing well.
ReplyDeleteI have a very full plate this week and wasn't going to check blogger so I could stay productive, (it's not the easiest task and so it is easy to procrastinate!) but I'm glad I caved for a minute. . . I needed to read this.
ReplyDeleteYour heart is having to be so brave, but you're stronger than you think you are. I'm glad you had a little glimpse of eternity to strengthen you. And I'm glad to hear Aubrey is also being strengthened. Thanks for your example!
I'm so glad it went well. I'm thinking about you and the kids so much. Love you.
ReplyDeleteOK, I just have to cry now a little bit. That was the sweetest post. I know it was a hard thing to do, and I love you for it. I'm so happy that the things you heard and felt there brought you some peace and joy for a moment. You are a blessing to me. I'm so happy you could be by my side that day.
