Why Mormons Build Temples

While I was at the temple this morning, an email came from Salt Lake saying the church had put out a video on youtube concerning why we build temples.

I've included the youtube link for it below.

It was a good morning and a quiet afternoon. We were busy printing and cutting family file cards and taking prayer roll names this morning.

A Mothers Vigil by Liz Swindle

I WOULD GATHER THEE AS A HEN GATHERETH HER CHICKS Parable O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! - Matthew 23:37 A Mother´s Vigil: I Would Gather Thee (Modern) On the night before Jesus was crucified, He went to the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem with His disciples. As He sat looking down on the city and people He loved, He lamented, "... how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" - Matthew 23:37. Like God, each of us is anxious to gather our own families around us. We long to provide needed comfort amidst the ever growing storms that surround them. In this picture of a worried mother waiting up for a child that isn´t home yet, I painted twelve eggs, symbolic of the number of Jesus´ apostles - those who assisted Jesus in His work - and the thought that God wants to gather all of His children, but that He often does this through the love and efforts of our families here on earth. - Liz Swindle When I saw this, I remembered the tears and prayers for my children. How much must our Father in Heaven weep over us in our sorrows and sins as well.
