The Temple Is About Families

The Temple Is about Families
Mormon Doctrine / Teachings

?When you come to the temple you will love your family with a deeper love than you have ever felt before. The temple is about families. As my wife, Karen, and I have increased our temple service, our love for each other and for our children has increased. And it doesn?t stop there. It extends to parents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, forebears, and especially our grandchildren! This is the Spirit of Elijah, which is the spirit of family history work; and when inspired by the Holy Ghost, it prompts the turning of the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. Because of the priesthood, husbands and wives are sealed together, children are sealed to their parents for eternity so the family is eternal and will not be separated at death.?

Richard H. Winkel, ?The Temple Is about Families,? Ensign, Nov. 2006, 9

Families Is Temple The

I love the temple. When I go there I feel so at peace. All my worldly cares go right out the window and I'm focused on what Heavenly Father wants to teach me. My ony regret is not being able to go more often. Maybe when I retire we will look into becoming temple workers.
