Home. Its totally different than a house. A home can be a house but not all houses are homes. home is where you are always welcome. you feel at peace and that you are loved and it always has the spirit of. . . homey-ness. When you move out of the home and into the world you suddenly realize how precious home is. Every time you return you always remember the memories you created there and the feeling of love and peace.
That is what the temple is for me. It is the House of the Lord but it always has that feeling of returning home. Right now I am far away from my earthly home where my family is and my Heavenly one. I know I lived with God before this earthly home and the House of the Lord, the temple, gives me those feelings of love and peace that always remind me that my Father in Heaven loves me. He has given me so much to remember His love; this beautiful earth, the scriptures, modern-day prophets, prayer, my family, and the temple; all seem to whisper the message from my God and Father: “Remember that I love you.”
We should always remember His love for us and show that we love Him by using the things He gives us to come closer to Him and His Son, Jesus Christ and help others do the same. He will always love us and give us those things we need to return to Him. Always remember His love and the home that was yours before you came to this world.
