If you are an actual reader of posts, not just a picture looker like me, you might remember that a year ago, in May, my Grandmother Dorothy Jean Goodman Henson passed away. She was 92 years old and had lived a very full and wonderful life. Well, this past May my Uncle Bob and Aunt Kitty arranged for us to do the temple work for Dorothy in the Mesa Temple. I had no idea that I would get to be the one who would get to go through all of the temple ordinances, from baptism to sealing, in one day for a woman I dearly loved and missed. It was an amazing experience. She was sealed to her parents and siblings, as well as my Grandfather Robert. I cannot describe the joy I felt all day knowing what blessings I was helping her to gain. I was also thinking a lot about my family and how these blessings will affect them directly. How grateful I am to have the temple and its sealing powers working in my family. I come from a lineage of amazing and good people, who have left me a heritage to be proud of. This is the day I will remember as a day when my heart was turned to them as I shared the temple blessings that have been discovered in my life.
