Temple Lessons [The power & blessings of being early]
When we arrived for our first sacrament meeting in Nauvoo we were about 15 minutes early. The chapel was already full and the reverence was comforting. We quickly & quietly found a seat and pondered what we were experiencing.
When we arrived for our first training meeting in the San Diego Temple with the other newly called temple volunteers we were about 10 minutes early. Everyone else was already there & the meeting began as soon as we were seated.
We are learning that a mark of conversion is being early & ready. There is a spirit attended to being early that is only experienced by those who get there early enough to witness it.
Two Scriptures:
He that seeketh me early shall find me, and shall not be forsaken. D&C 88:83
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Proverbs 8:17
One Quote:
Early = Respect for others. Late = Disrespect. You might as well wear a sign on your chest. -Tom Peters
