Resting at the Temple

This evening, I had the opportunity to visit the temple, not to go inside and perform ordinances, but to share a meal with friends and family, lay down on a blanket, and rest. It was very nice. The food was good, the company was good, and it felt wonderful to just lay down and relax in such a wholesome place. I ought to do that more often. Laying down may not be the most spiritual experience, but resting at the temple is a great way to restore physical and spiritual strength at the same time. Were it not for the risk of falling asleep, I'd be tempted to make it a regular habit. I enjoyed resting at the temple this evening. I expect that I'll do it again some time soon.
