For Time and All Eternity

This picture will always have a special place in my heart! As I was walking out the door to take temple pictures, my sister in law asked if I would take a picture of the doorknob for her, I agreed and this is what I got! The whole way to the temple I kept thinking to myself, the door. The doorknob. How in the world am I going to pull this off!? As I was pondering outside the temple and wanting to get the best picture of a doorknob, the Primary Children's Song, "I love to see the temple" popped into my head. I was overcome by the spirit and thought about the importance of the temple! Since I was 3 years old (maybe even younger) I have been singing this particular song and this picture reminded me of a simple phrase from the song, "I will go inside someday!" Primary Children are taught from a very early age the goals and blessings of the temple! and to make things even better, this was the song my 2 year old niece sang to my husband and I during our rehearsal dinner! She was so humble and full of love when she sang to us! It honestly touched everyone in the room. A few months later, I stopped by her house after going to the temple and she asked if I had just gone to church, when I replied no, I had just gone to the temple, her eyes got wide and she was so full of excitement! She continued to tell me that when she was big, she would go inside the temple! It was a such a sweet reminder of the importance of the temple and how even the smallest of children can feel the spirit that lives there and desire to go inside!
