Here’s your daily dose of what matters most! When you’re balancing busy schedules, setting aside other responsibilities, arranging for childcare, travel, and more—just getting to the temple can be a feat. But enhancing your temple experience requires preparing spiritually, in your mind and heart, to serve and worship in the house of the Lord.
Scripture
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;—Doctrine & Covenants 88:119
Quote
There is a difference in just attending the temple and having a rich spiritual experience. The real blessings of the temple come as we enhance our temple experience. To do so, we must feel a spirit of reverence for the temple and a spirit of worship.—Elder L. Lionel Kendrick
