Temple Rights and Privledges

I went to the temple where I learned a valuable lesson.  I thought, “God was so good to bring me here to see Tanah.  I am so grateful for the time I get to spend with her..  I will show Him my gratitude by going to the temple.” And I went with the attitude that I was doing a good thing for God.    

When I got there, at 9:40, I was told the 10:00 session was full and that I would have to wait until 11:00.  What? I was a little peeved. I had come here to do a good thing and was told I would have to wait for over an hour to serve.  Hum….

Hum indeed.   The Spirit taught me a great lesson.   Temple service is not a right. It is an opportunity, a privilege.  There are millions of members in the world without access. And, through the ages, billions of people who have not had the opportunity to worship the Lord in a temple.   Waiting an hour is a small price to pay for the privilege of participating in the sacred ordinances found only in His house.  

I waited.   And it was a good thing for me.
