Following a Prophet's Counsel



How pleased I was when my children came home from church one Sunday and were insistent that we go to the temple. They told us that their primary teachers had told them that President Monson had asked all the children to go to the temple and touch it and have their picture taken there. They were so excited the day we headed off to heed the counsel and it was really a special moment to see the joy following the prophet brought them. After touching the temple, Joseph headed in to do a session and I took them in to the little waiting area for a few minutes. We discussed what it means to go to the temple and why they needed to wait until they were older. I hope this experience made an impact on them, it sure did on me. I am continually taught by my children's simple obedience.
