Saturday

Bonneville Buds

Today I met my Bonneville Buds for lunch. (went directly after the Temple) I love these dates with my friends.  Mindy just lost her mom on Halloween and had her funeral last Saturday and needed some cheering up.  I think a few of the others needed friends too.  There is something about being friends since childhood.  Mindy, Tami and I have that.  We are just connected because of it.  I met Eve and Kelly in High School but have really just gotten to know them the last few years!  These are some pretty great ladies.  They are strong and have experienced  so much......heck at this age we all have!  It's fun and enlightening sharing our experiences with each other.  I always leave knowing that I am so blessed!  I feel even more blessed for being reunited with these friends and having them in my life now!  

I am bursting with Thankfulness!!!

Close to Heaven.....


Today I went through some doors that lead to Heaven….or the closest thing to Heaven on this Earth.  It amazes me how just walking through a set of doors can be so perfectly peaceful!  I love this beautiful Palace built for our King & Savior, Jesus Christ!  (Draper LDS Temple)  I am so thankful that I am able to enter and experience the things I do there.  I love how absolutely beautiful the Temple is.  It is breath taking and serene! I look around and see others that are so similar to myself……all Angels in Gods eyes but somehow I feel like I am the "Special One".  I feel my light inside of me shine brighter and I am sure the others feel the same way.  God see us All…….He loves us All…..We are His Children.  I am so sure of that and am very grateful for my relationship with Him.

I have plenty of time to meditate and think and feel.  I love how I feel like I have been wrapped in a warm blanket…..I feel warm from the inside out, yet amongst the warmth I still get tingles….I love this feeling and would say it's better than anything else I have ever felt.  It's indescribable and comes from my soul.  My eyes feel it too.  So often this feeling is so strong it literally consumes my whole soul and trickles out my eyes…..I let it! 

I love entering into the Celestial Room and seeing the ones I love.  Today I saw Kevin and Julie and Julie's Sister and husband and Taylor V.  This room is elegant and I find myself usually looking UP!  Maybe that has some significance to it and maybe not but I love looking up into the magnificent chandeliers!  They are gorgeous and pull me right into them.  We linger in this room and bask in the love that is here……it's amazing and wonderful!

I always leave desiring to be better.
