Temple blessings

Jerel and I went to the temple this morning to finish up some sealings from names that Lavell and Roland gave us. I always love the little "sunday school lessons" that the sealers give us during those times. They give you such insight into the ordinances and blessings of the temple.

This morning the sealer was wonderful. He taught us that Pres. Hinckley said that the blessings that come from sealings can't be taken away but they can be lost due to sin and neglect. He said that sin is something we obviously think about, but neglect can creep up easily and we might not think it is harmful. Just a little thought of some good stuff.

Also, I went to the temple Friday morning with my friend, Natalie, to do some initiatories. It's a tradition of hers to go the month right before her babies are to be born. (She's due to have her 7th in a few weeks.) Again, more spiritual insight. One of the temple workers told me that they recently had a training session with one of the Quorum of the Twelve (Hale I think). He said to pay close attention as we are taught about the markings on the garment in the endowment sessions because it is a "road map to our lives." Just good stuff!!
