*Today at church I was, for the first time, a mother-in-law, though my sweet son and daughter-in-law were off on their honeymoon. Our theme for the day was once again the blessings of temple covenants, as it has been for the month, and I couldn't help but reflect on the joy we had experienced earlier in the week at the Dallas Temple during their sealing. My parents flew in from their temple mission in Denmark so that my dad could perform their sealing. I remembered the words he said, about how each covenant we make brings us closer to Christ, and the symbolism of each helps us to remember Him, and want to learn more and draw nearer to Him. He had Scott and Kaitlyn join hands together, with intertwined fingers, and called it a "covenant clasp," because it's really hard to pull the hands apart when they're like that, and invited them to think of that whenever they're holding hands in the future. It was so very sweet. We also had Ben's parents with us, though only for the Sacrament. Grandpa R. was not feeling well and went home to rest. Though his health is mostly good, he does have some scares with his heart, and again, the covenants we've made bring us joy to know that when death comes, it is not the end of our relationships or our love.
It was a delight!
