Tears of Remembrance

I had to teach Sharing Time last Sunday and it was about Repentance and Temples. Well I got my sharing time from my mom, because (slap on the wrist) I was NOT prepared, and since my mom had to teach that day, I thought I'll juss use hers! haha so I did, but I kinda put my own twist on it. I implemented the temple into the lesson. So there were 4 cut out footsteps on the floor leading to a picture that they couldn't see because I turned it around. So the first step was Feel Sorry, the second step was Ask For Forgiveness, the third step was Right the Wrong, and the last step was Never do it again. The kids had fun telling me what they should and shouldn't do in a story I had made up. Then I asked them who else do they need to say sorry to...they all raised their hands and said Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I was so proud of them. Then I said well (turning around another pic..the temples one) What does the temple have to do with repentance? They all kinda stared at one another. One boy raised his hand and said we need to be worthy to go inside there. I said yes do you know that I had to repent, and my husband had to repent in order for us to take our family to be sealed, and I'll tell you guys it was the best decision I had ever made. By this moment I was in uncontrollable tears...I couldn't stop the tears from flowing, and I knew that the Lord was in my head helping me to remember the most wonderful day of my LIFE. I looked at Ariana who was staring at me, and I instantly remembered the day she walked into the celestial room, along with her brother Jay all in white, and the moment took over me and I explained to the kids that I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who allows us to repent so we are able to live together forever. I am so blessed to serve these little ones, as I looked out to the kids I was teaching a lot of them were teary eyed and I knew that they could feel my spirit. Tears of remembrance are great to shed...I'm glad I learned that last Sunday. :)
