Favorite things part 2

It's not that I don't have enough favorite things to do these post very often, it's that I have too many to decide what to do next. (These come in no particular order except for what is on my mind at the time).
Temples are one of my favorite things. Although it doesn't match the wonder of partaking of the blessing of the temples, the beauty and majesty of the temples hold a strong and desirable spirit. There is some attractive force that pulls you toward the temple even when time doesn't allow you to enter. The grounds are sacred and possess a wonderful feeling of hope. Hope in a world that constantly worries me. I no longer worry for myself and the trials that I will have to face (maybe I do a little), but what scares me to death is the things that my little Chase, and other future children will have to face and stand up against. The temple is one place that strength can come from for them and for myself. They are such a blessing to us and because of this, it is one of my favorite things.

Remember when we were way too young to go the temple and we would just go to take pictures of ourselves in front of it? I know what you mean about being worried for Chase way more so than you are for youself. It's a scary world, thank goodness for the temple and the gospel!

Me, too. I just spent most of Saturday there. Other than my church bench looking "like a garden" because it is filled with my family, there is no other place that offers so much peace.
