Meghan calls this statue "Jesus in space."
That always cracks us up.
Funny comments aside, I can't stand in front of this statue, without feeling awe, without feeling the power, the grace, the love and the divinity of our Savior. It's breathtaking.
We've been meaning to take the kids to temple square for a long time to visit with Grandma and Grandpa who are serving a full-time mission there right now, and we finally took them last week. We had such a great time. We've decided we need to go more often. We enjoyed walking through the gardens, and we loved the visitor's centers, seeing all the displays, the statues, and the neat little films they have. We ate dinner at the Garden restaurant on the top floor of the JS memorial building with Grandma and Grandpa on their dinner break. It was so beautiful over looking the temple. As I watched our children play on the bench looking out the window, I felt a little bit of heaven. You know what those moments are like. It's those rare moments where you tell yourself to take a picture in your mind and cherish it. I'm not sure why it felt so good, but it did. I just love our little family. We are so blessed.
