Temple Work for Self
I've already blogged on the topics of Temple Ordinances and Family History (which leads to temple work for the dead), so now I get to talk of temple work for one's self. Even though I kind of already have. In the temple, the ordinances performed are what we call saving ordinances. So when we first enter the temple--not as unendowed, temple-worthy, recommend-holding members, but when we are ready to receive our own endowment, we make the covenants for ourselves first. We take the Savior's hand and together with Him we walk a little closer to our salvation.
I will never forget that day in my life. It was one of the most important of my life. I love and am grateful for all the times I get to perform temple ordinances for those who have already passed on. Especially family members. And for the reminders and spiritual impressions I receive every time I attend the temple. But nothing will ever be like that first time I covenanted with my Father in the House of the Lord.
