Touched by two Angel's

I don't want this to sound cheesy. I really don't.... but this really describes what happened. I really felt like I was touched by two Angel's. No... not a Angel, Angel but by a few people that I saw in the temple. After our temple session Friday night Loren and I sat in the Celestial Room at the Mt Timpanogos Temple. It was beautiful and so peaceful. I have never experienced it so peaceful. It was extremely quite and It was a very special moment for me. I didnt want to leave....I was in heaven. As I gazed around the room...I noticed a young woman weeping. I tried not to stare as I watched her and wondered to myself what she might be going through. I felt like she was hurting and that she must be there for comfort. She seemed very sad. As I watched her, a man walked over and handed her a tissue and proceeded to sit by her. He hugged her and as he did, I noticed he was very sick. He was pale and all his hair was gone. I think that he was terminally ill. However, to me....he looked like an angel and was beautiful. His eyes were extremely bright. As they interacted with eachother, I soon realized it was her husband. My heart ached for her. I cant imagine what that would be like. To have your husband suffering from an illness and thinking that he might soon leave this earth. I wanted to hug her so bad. This woman really touched me and left a lasting impression on me. They both impressed me. Look at where they were. They were in the temple. In a time of great distress and sadness....they turned to the Lord for comfort. The whole experience really touched me. It really made me think.

There was a time in my life when I had a difficult experience and I didn't turn to the Lord for help. I completely went the opposite direction. I relied only on myself and ended up in a very dark place. I only made myself worse....when I couldve turned to the Lord to ease my pain. I later learned that I always need to turn to the Lord when I need comfort and guidance, otherwise... the adversary can take great hold. This experience Friday night really reaffirmed my testimony of this and I am so grateful that these angles touched my soul.
