This is probably one of my most favorite pictures so far. I was sealed to my parents in the Salt Lake Temple when I was very little and then my husband and I were sealed together here! The day we were sealed together my heart was full of love and the spirit! Not only love for my awesome husband, but love for all the pioneers who faithfully dedicated their hard work so generations upon generations could be sealed together. I am so grateful for my parents and the incredible example they are to me! They did everything they had to to be able to be sealed to me, forever! They loved me so much to sacrifice everything so we could be an eternal family! That is why I wanted to be sealed to my husband in the same temple. It is an incredible symbol of eternal love for my family! It has always been a very special temple to me and has a remarkable history through my ancestors.
I could go on and on about this temple, but that is not the special message I wanted to share. My mother in law adored this picture, so for Mother's Day my husband chose to give this photo to her. Well, she loved it and wanted to share it with a family in her ward that was really struggling. We sent her the photo and she had it printed and framed for this particular family. When my mother in law gave the picture to the sweet wife, she began to cry! The spirit was so strong and she was incredibly touched by the spirit through this photograph. The sweet wife had a moment of peace in such a trying time. and will continue to have a small moment every time she passes the photograph. It was an incredibly touching experience and was a great testimony to me that it is the simple things in life that always mean the most.
