Caeleb and the Temple

Caeleb loves the Temple. He went to the Calgary Temple open house with the Gainor family and ever since then, when we drive in the area, he points in the direction of the temple and excitedly shouts, "Tempo!" Tonight our little family went to the temple. The lights were on around it and it looked beautiful lite up on top of the hill. It reminded me of my mission days in Ecuador when my companion and I would see the Guayaquil temple lite up on the hill every day when we were coming home in the dark on the bus. It was a centerpoint for that big city. And now we have this beautiful temple in our city. 2 weeks ago Chris and I were finally able to fulfill our anniversary wish of doing sealings in the Calgary temple. I felt the spirit very strong during our time there. Well, tonight we got Caeleb out and walked around in the snow by the temple gate. We looked at the Angle Moroni. Caeleb loves looking at the temple! Elva stayed in the car as it is a cool night out. Not too cold, but cool. I stayed close by her while the boys ventured further down the sidewalk. I thought about how blessed I am for eternal families and for the covenants that we make at the temple. When we left, Caeleb said, "bye bye tempo. See soon." It touched my heart. I hope that when he is older, age 12, 18, 25, 40, 60, 80 - whatever age - he will say (when he leaves the temple), "Bye Temple, See you soon." I love my family! And I love to see the Temple!
