Where can I Turn for Peace?

Today has been a very emotional day. I don't want to go into the particulars about that but by the afternoon I was emotionally drained. I needed something, although I didn't know what. So Mark and I packed Scott up and the stroller into the car and headed downtown. We are so close but we rarely come up to this part of town because of the confusion with parking. We walked Temple Square. It was so beautiful out. A perfect cool breeze, the sun setting, flowers everywhere. We usually only go to Temple Square to see the lights around Christmas time. It's always so cold then and it's dark. Complete opposite physical feeling but the ever same spiritual feeling. We also walked in the Visitors Center and sat with the Christus Statue and listened to that. I haven't done that in so long. I remember doing it as a child and I remember the strong spirit I felt then. It was the same, only stronger. I felt so comforted there. I love the Salt Lake temple. I love this church that I belong to. I love the Spirit. I love my Savior, my Comforter, my Loving Brother. I feel so blessed by my Heavenly Father for giving me such easy access to these things. I will remember this day for a long time. I think the memory of this day would have brought weird emotions but now I will remember the amazing peace that can be found when seeking it.

I talked to Luke yesterday about everything. To tell you the truth i am glad i wasn't there. sometimes it is easier to be far away and emotionally disconnected. Hope you are doing ok. tough things in life make us stronger. love you!
