Temple is a place where you can find peace and feel God's love for us. Through the temple, we make covenants with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Our families can be together for eternity because of the covenants we made inside the temple. Greater blessings await inside the temple.
Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. We look forward for this day to visit the newly built temple in the Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. The night before our visit during our dinner, we received a call from Daddy Alex, Abish father, saying hello and asking for an update on his apo, Issa and other stuffs. He also asked about our plan on temple visit and ended up with something nice - he is coming with us, yehey! This has been our plan since the open house was announced last month. Aside being with Abish, Issa and Daddy Alex, this was also an exciting day for ate Chin, for she will be able to witness and see what's inside the temple. I know that this will help her feel the Lord's love for her.
We departed at almost 5:00 in Dasmariñas and had to travel 4 hours and more to arrive in the Urdaneta Temple. I know the Lord is with us on this trip. He keeps us safe from any danger that we might encounter in the road. Daddy was also able to throw a joke in the middle of the trip - guess what place in the Philippines where sun, sea and moon can be found 24/7? I am always happy to hear the stories, insights and perspectives from him.
The temple is at its finest. Despite of the high heat temperature outside, we still enjoyed the tour inside. The beauty and elegance of the temple invites everyone of us to enter into His kingdom. This signifies that the Lord is preparing us to a place more than beautiful of the terrestrial kingdom if we act upon His name, follow Him and endure until the end. How lovely the Lord's plan for us. Even though the temple is not yet consecrated, I felt the spirit most especially when we entered the celestial room.
I pray for the day will come that my family in Bicol will be brought in the temple and have them feel the love and see the Lord's plan for them. I pray that daddy Alex's prayer will be answered and the things he wants to happen inside the temple will be fulfilled. We had also the chance to visit Uncle Rodel, Auntie Jane, Angel, Auntie Luisa, Angie, Aerold, and Sonny at Cabuluan, Urdaneta City. All the tiredness that I had on our travel were turned into hope and stronger faith. I invite you to visit the temple and be in the God's presence.
