Reflections from Sundays lessson - Temple Work & Family History

This Sundays lesson was Chapter 40 - Temple Work & Family History in the Gospel Principles manual (pg 233)
Sis Mc Cormack did a wonderful job of bringing in the spirit and reminding us about the importance of family and being bound or sealed together in an eternal perspective.

Some of the comments that were made were:
"Temples keep us eternally minded."

"They are  symbol of His presence here on earth. A light shining in this world."

"How wonderful it is to be able to do work for those who cannot and have passed on."


Not only do we make covenants at the temple but the manual reminds us: " We also go the temple to learn more about Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. We gain a better understanding of our purpose in life and our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We are taught about our premortal existence, the meaning of earth life, and life after death." (pg. 235 top of the page)

Thank you Sis. Mc Cormack for your prepartion and sensitivity to the spirit and also all those who shared their thoughts, feelings and experiences. You all make R.S. a wonderful place!
