A Symbol of Hope

This morning as I was enjoying some quiet time in the Mesa temple I continued my musings on the topic of hope. I came to the conclusion that a temple is the perfect symbol of hope. Temples exist only because of hope. The hope that life continues after death. The hope that people can change after this life. The hope that God's plan is fair for everyone. The hope that a family that is united in this holy edifice will never be divided. The hope that Heavenly Father keeps His promises. The hope that He wants to communicate with and bless His children. The hope that we can faithfully complete our mission here on earth and return to live with that loving Father again. The hope that every temple on the earth lessens Satan's power.

Hope - what a wonderful blessing.
