Golden indeed

I've mentioned before that 99% of the time, when I attend the temple each week, I go to the Bountiful temple. Because my dad is a sealer there and any chance I have to possibly see him, especially in his element, I will take. He's the sweetest and the best.

But another perk of that particular temple is that I am definitely one of the younger ones that attends. And older people are kind of my jam, so it's pretty much the greatest.

I've come to know almost all of the workers there, especially the sealers who are so ridiculously kind to me, as well as many of the patrons. But a few of those who attend the temple each week, especially on the same day I do, have become dear friends. And at the top of that list are three older women, possibly in their 70s or so, that have pretty much adopted me as one of their own.

We've bonded over our spicy personalities, our love of the Lord's House and our temptation to laugh more often than one should in the temple. For months, we just greeted each other whenever we were in the same area and occasionally talked for a minute or two. But many weeks ago, one of them asked for my number and she now texts me their multi-monthly temple schedule to see if I can join their group here and there. And I do. Whenever I can.

Tuesday was one of the those days and it filled my heart with so much happiness to be with them. Never mention the incredible kindness God sent to my heart during the sealing session. I'm so thankful for all of it.

And look forward to the next time we can all meet at the Bountiful temple and enjoy an hour or two together. Because not only will I get to see those three darling, hilarious, kind, good, faithful ladies, but I can also guarantee that when my kids leave for school on that particular Tuesday morning, they will say as they always do, "Hope you and the golden girls have fun in the temple today Mom!"

And we will.

Golden indeed. 

For more than one reason.
