God Works in Mysterious Ways

A little over a year ago I attended the Oquirrh Mtn. Temple Open House with my entire family(even my inactive husband). The end of the tour led us to the Celestial Room.  I can't even begin to explain how spiritually overwhelming this experience was-to be in this room with my entire family!  It is something I have prayed  and hoped for for such a long time.  Even though it was just the open house and the Temple had not been dedicated, it was a wonderful preview of what could some day be for real.
Fast forward to October 30th when my son and our entire family(minus only my husband ) were able to attend the Temple together for his endowment session prior to going on his mission.  If anyone had told me at the Open House that this reality could be possible in such short of time, I never would have believed it.  But , due to some extroadinary events that happened this year, i.e.; My two youngest daughters getting married and sealed in the Temple and my son making up his mind to go on  a mission, it all has become a reality.
     It was such a joyful day for me and again the spirit was overwhelming and I lost my composure a little bit in the Celestial Room-thinking back to that day a year and a half ago, when it seemed a dream.
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for such tremendous blessings this year and also to my children for the choices that they have made to enable us all to be at this amazing place in life!!! 
This year God has proven in so many ways that He does work in mysterious ways!!  Never give up hope!!
