Nothing New About Temples

I've been stuck on President Eyring's talk, I Love to See the Temple, for quite some time now, partly because he doesn't say much in this talk that hasn't been said before. We can receive blessings through the temple. In temples, families can be sealed for eternity. We have to be worthy to obtain and retain the blessings of the temple. Stuff like that. There was very little that was ground-breaking in his talk that morning. But you know, that's probably okay. Not all of my blog posts have been ground-breaking either. Sometimes, a message doesn't have to be new to be inspiring and/or important. Temples are important and often inspiring, but there's little new about them. A message, or a building, doesn't have to be new to be good.

Temples are holy, blessed places, and we ourselves will be more holy and blessed for going there. That's not a new message, but it's still an important one.
