Tender Mercies, I wonder sometimes does it get any better?

Today, I had some quiet time in the Celestial Room in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple.

It was about 10:30 am. I had the assignment there for the last half hour. Time in there gives me time to meditate, pray and ponder. The worker from the next shift came a few minutes early to take my place for me to go.

I still wanted to stay and offered to let her sit quietly while I would finish out the last ten minutes. She refused, so I started to leave and walked out half way to the stairs and had the impression to go back and just spend a few more minutes in the quiet heavenly setting.

There was a comfortable soft chair I picked to sit. I noticed the sun was coming in one of the three round windows up high on the South wall of the room. I could see the sun so brightly, that I was temporarily blinded by the bright light. I started to leave but then I could not see very well, for the beautiful colors in my eyes of all the colors of the rainbow from looking at the sun though the etched glass up above.

I saw bright golden, white light--the shape and image of Christ standing in silhouette. I could not focus on specific objects in the room. I only saw the bright image even with my eyes shut. I sat there for a good ten minutes, as the spots went from bright light to subdued. It went from golden white fiery light to fluorescent green and blues, then to shades of magenta or hot pink the faded into the light reduced to a yellow spot on the wall, sofa, window, or wherever I looked until it was completely gone.

This day in the temple made a deep impression upon me and I wanted to make note of it as seeing the hand of God and Christ in my life today. I saw another co temple worker, Sister Barbara Workman, who is in son, Hank's ward. She always has pleasant comments to say about him. She loves him and said they will be praying for him while he is on his trip to Georgia (Russia) this coming week and the next. It was comforting to know how much he is loved by his ward members. My heart was touched and filled to overflowing.
