Temples

This month, the theme for the visiting teaching message is claiming our temple blessings. As I was reading through the lesson and the suggested scriptures a couple weeks ago, I was thinking about what exactly those blessings are and reflecting on my experiences at the temple and such, and I realized that for me, probably one of the greatest blessings of the temple is that when I'm there, I know that the Lord is aware of me. There are so many little moments that I've had in the temple, small promptings and inspirations and experiences, that have just let me know that the Lord knows exactly who I am and what I need. I'm grateful for that blessing, along with the other blessings I receive at the temple, and I'm grateful that the Lord invites us to His house to receive exactly the help, guidance, and inspiration that we need.
